Webinar Recording: Guidance on State and Local Paid Sick Leave and Paid Time Off Laws — Part 16: 2025 Mid-Year Checkup

About the Program

Paid sick leave and paid time off laws continue to evolve rapidly, with state and local programs posing complex compliance challenges for employers. As we reach the midpoint of 2025, new legislative developments, legal challenges, and ballot initiatives are shaping the future of paid sick leave and paid time off leave management across key jurisdictions.

Join us for this mid-year webinar, where our experienced leave law practitioners discuss the nation’s 2025 paid sick leave prognosis and provide practical insights into recent developments, highlight jurisdiction-specific updates, and discuss what employers should be doing now to prepare for the next wave of paid sick leave and paid time off requirements.

Key topics include:

• The latest on the recent paid sick leave ballot initiatives in Alaska, Missouri, and Nebraska, including their impact on the paid sick leave law landscape,
• Recent amendments to state-specific paid sick leave programs, including in Michigan, Oregon and Washington State,
• The recent expansion of the New York City Earned Safe and Sick Time Act Rules to incorporate paid prenatal leave, and how those standards interplay with the New York State paid prenatal personal leave mandate that began on January 1, 2025, and
• Practical tips for adapting your policies and processes to align with new requirements in each of these jurisdictions.
