Summary
- Vermont requires parental leave for employers with 10 or more employees and family leave for employers with 15 or more employees within the state. See Parental and Family Leave.
- In addition to long-term family leave, an employee is permitted to take an unpaid leave not to exceed four hours in any 30-day period (not to exceed 24 hours in a 12-month period) for certain qualifying reasons. See Short-Term Family Leave.
- Other types of leave may be available to Vermont employees - some required by federal, state or local law, and some provided by company policy, as well as several sources of income replacement. See Interaction of Leave Laws.
