AI Summary

This bill, the Protected Time Off (PTO) Act, requires employers to provide paid annual leave to their employees. Key provisions include: 1. Employees earn 1 hour of paid annual leave for every 25 hours worked, up to a maximum of 80 hours per 12-month period. 2. Employees can use paid annual leave for any reason and must be compensated at their regular rate of pay. 3. Employers must notify employees about the paid annual leave policy and cannot interfere with or retaliate against employees for using the leave. 4. The bill establishes enforcement mechanisms, including a private right of action for employees and investigative authority for the Secretary of Labor. 5.
