Isn’t it weird how summer speeds up right after July 4^th? We’re more than halfway through the dog days, and a lot has happened in the state and federal legislatures regarding paid and traditional leave laws. Who can keep track of it all? Who wants to?

Spoiler alert: We can, and – like the government – we’re here to help! (Really, we are!)

Let’s make it easy as possible. If your business interests lie on one of the baker's dozen jurisdictions below, you have some studying to do with regard to new and amended leave laws. Remember, these include both the regular ol’ vanilla employee leaves as well as paid family and medical leave (PFML) laws. Plus, there are a couple of oddball offerings that don’t really fit but we have to put them somewhere – like the Virginia law expanding STD benefits for birth mothers.
