Mandates requiring paid leave for an employee’s own health condition exist in many states — California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island and Washington — along with Puerto Rico and Washington, DC. Delaware, Maine, Maryland and Minnesota will start similar programs in the next few years. Except for Hawaii and Puerto Rico, these jurisdictions also require paid family leave. Voluntary group family leave insurance is now available in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Michigan, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. Private employers may opt-in to the state program for governmental employees in New Hampshire and Vermont.

A slide deck highlighting the major features of each mandated paid family and medical leave contributions program is also available.
