Paid leave and accommodation basics
Rules that tell employers when to provide paid time off and reasonable adjustments so employees can work or take protected leave.
"I need to know when I must grant paid leave or change a job so we don't violate the law or lose a valued employee."
Statutory paid leave are employer obligations created by law (e.g., parental leave, sick leave) that qualify for pay or job protection; reasonable accommodations are employer-required adjustments enabling an employee with a disability or protected need to perform their job unless it causes undue hardship.
