Vermont’s Earned Sick Time Act 21 V.S.A. § 482 How is sick time earned? An employee earns one hour of earned sick time for every 52 hours of actual work, including overtime. An employee will also be entitled to use up to 40 hours in 2025 and subsequent years. How can sick time be used? Sick time may be used when an employee or employee’s child, parent, grandparent, spouse, or parent in- law is sick or injured. This includes obtaining healthcare or traveling to related appointments or to address the effects of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Earned sick time may be used to care for a family member because local schools or businesses are closed for public health or safety reasons. When does accrual begin? An employee begins accruing sick leave on January 1st, 2025, or on the first day of employment, whichever comes later. When will paid sick time be available to use? An employer may allow use of earned sick time as it accrues or may impose a waiting period of up to one year or first day of employment, whichever comes later. Are all employees entitled to sick time? Not all employees are subject to the protections of the Act. There are limited exemptions for certain types of employment and certain seasonal and part-time employees. THIS IS A MANDATORY POSTER Vermont Department of Labor P.O.
