Sick Leave, Family Medical Leave, and State Law:
There are no states that require employers to provide employees with either paid sick
leave. Additionally, most states do not have any laws requiring employees to provide any
form of unpaid sick leave, although some do. All employers, regardless of their states laws
regarding sick leave, must comply with any federal sick leave requirements.
The states with laws requiring employer to provide unpaid sick leave generally have laws
similar to the federal Family and Medical Leave Act. Both California and Washington have
created state funds that compensate employees in certain situations where leave is
required due to illness or the birth or adoption of a new child.
