Connecticut administers paid sick leave under CGS 31-57r and paid family medical leave under the CT Paid Leave Authority, preempting local mandates.
Connecticut was the first state to mandate paid sick leave through CGS Section 31-57r, requiring service worker employers above certain size thresholds to provide accrued sick time. Public Act 19-25 created the Paid Family and Medical Leave program funded through employee payroll contributions and administered by the Connecticut Paid Leave Authority since January 2022. These statewide programs establish uniform benefits that municipalities cannot supplement with local ordinances imposing additional employer mandates beyond state law.
Employer noncompliance with paid leave laws may result in restitution, civil penalties, and Department of Labor enforcement actions.
