Effective: January 1, 2025

Beginning January 1, 2025, Connecticut's sick leave law will apply to workers of nearly every occupation, not just those in retail and service jobs. The threshold for coverage will be lowered in three phases, beginning with employers that have at least 25 employees on January 1.

Employers must provide written notice of the new sick leave requirements to each employee not later than January 1, 2025, or at the time of hire, whichever is later, and display a workplace poster. The state's Labor Commissioner has created a model of such poster and written notice. You can find them here.

For employers that do not maintain a physical workplace or for employees that telework or perform work through a web-based or application-based platform, employers must send the information via electronic communication or by a conspicuous posting of such information on a web-based or application-based platform.
