Paid Family and Medical Leave in 2024: Navigating the New Legal Landscape

When federal law has left gaps (or gaping holes) in the leave landscape, states and localities have bridged those gaps by passing their own leave laws.

In recent years, more and more cities and counties have moved forward with providing entitlements, like sick leave, within their own jurisdictions in the absence of – or sometimes in addition to – a more broadly applicable law at the state level.

These and other developments have created something of a patchwork of sick leave laws that employers must carefully navigate.

For employers that operate in multiple locations that require paid sick leave this can be a daunting task. While many paid sick leave laws have common requirements, they each have unique provisions.

The following steps can help employers understand how to make their way through this patchwork of paid sick leave obligations without getting lost along the way.
