Indiana has no statewide paid sick leave law for private employers, and no Indiana city has enacted a local paid sick leave ordinance. State law does not require private employers to provide paid leave.
There is no Indiana statute requiring private employers to provide paid sick leave, vacation, or similar benefits, and no Indiana municipality has adopted a local paid leave mandate. IC 22-2-2-10.5 bars local governments from setting a minimum wage above the state or federal floor, but it is a wage-specific preemption and does not itself address paid leave or benefits. Federal FMLA and ADA still apply to qualifying employers, and Indiana mandates limited unpaid leave for jury duty, military service, and witness duties. Public-sector employers set their own benefit policies.
No statutory penalty; there is no state or local paid leave mandate on private employers to enforce. Federal FMLA and ADA obligations are enforced under federal law.
