Vacation Leave and State Law:
There are no States that require employers to provide employees with either paid or unpaid
vacation leave.  However, states vary considerably on the requirements placed on
employers if they choose to provide vacation benefits.  Below are links to summaries of
state laws regarding vacation leave.
Vacation Leave and Federal Law:
Federal law does not require employers provide employees with either paid or unpaid
vacation leave.  Both the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the Department of Labor
have left the matter of vacation leave to the States to develop applicable laws.
