The Problem

Many states have their own paid and unpaid leave requirements on a wide variety of issues, such as sick time, family and medical requirements, blood donation, court attendance, domestic/sexual violence, election duty, volunteer fire fighter duty, adoption and birth, pregnancy disability, jury duty, military/civil air patrol, organ donation, school activity/visitation, voting, and others.

These laws differ from state to state in both minor and substantial ways. Compounding the compliance challenge, more and more states and localities are enacting complex paid sick leave laws and paid family and medical leave laws that can require an overhaul of existing employer policies. For companies with employees in multiple states throughout the country, it is becoming more and more burdensome to keep track of and comply with these varied and ever-changing state leave requirements.
