About this statute

This provision defines key terms and sets basic working-hour rules, including overtime pay, overtime notice, a written overtime refusal process, and limited director powers. This part sets rules for work hours, rest breaks, wages, holidays, vacation pay, and maternity leave. This excerpt sets rules for maternity, parental, bereavement, compassionate care, and sick leave, plus notice, reinstatement, equal pay, and termination protections for employees. This segment gives employees several kinds of unpaid leave, including leave for a critically ill adult, a child’s death or disappearance, domestic or sexualized violence, and reserve force service, with notice and proof rules. Employers must keep payroll records, give monthly wage statements, pay wages on time, and follow limits on deductions; the director and officers have enforcement powers.
