Employers: The 4th quarter is a great time to work on your employee handbook updates for 2024.
Several states, including New York, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, and Minnesota, have recently passed laws related to sick leave or other paid leave rights that will require new or modified policy language in employee handbooks.
These changes include the expansion of leave time that is available to employees and the legally permissible reasons for taking leave. Make sure you update accordingly to start 2024 in full compliance.
