AL HB360

Counties, municipalities, and political subdivisions in Alabama are prohibited from enacting ordinances, policies, rules, or mandates requiring employers to provide vacation or other forms of leave (paid or unpaid) beyond what state or federal law requires.

Political subdivisions may not require employers to compensate employees for vacation or other leave forms unless state or federal law mandates such compensation.

The prohibition does not apply to mandates that political subdivisions enact regarding vacation or leave for their own employees.

Any existing ordinance, policy, rule, or mandate of a political subdivision that conflicts with this act is declared void.

The act became effective immediately upon passage by the House on February 18, 2014, and approval by the Senate on March 6, 2014.
