HI SB2456

Requires employers with 50 or more employees in Hawaii to provide paid sick leave to service workers, excluding day or temporary workers and certain nonprofits.

Service workers earn at least one hour of paid sick leave for every 40 hours worked, up to a maximum of 40 hours per calendar year, with ability to carry over up to 40 unused hours annually.

Service workers may use earned paid sick leave for their own medical care, preventative care, and care of children or spouses, as well as for family violence or sexual assault-related purposes.

Service workers become eligible to use accrued sick leave after completing 680 hours of employment, unless they work fewer than 10 hours per week on average.
