Paid medical leave is accrued at a rate of 1 hour for every 35 actual hour s wo rked ; however, an employer is not required to a l low accrual of over 1 hour in a calendar week or more than 40 hours in a benefit year.

If an employer adopts this practice , it does not have to p ermit employees to carry over unused leave to t h e next benefit year.
