Connecticut Paid Sick Leave:

New Requirements Take Effect January 2027. Get the Free Guide to Prepare.

Big changes are coming to Connecticut’s paid sick leave law, and employers of all sizes need to be ready.

Beginning January 1, 2027, Connecticut’s paid sick leave requirements will extend to all private employers, regardless of size. But simply offering employees 40 hours of PTO doesn’t automatically mean your business is compliant.

From accrual and eligibility requirements to recordkeeping and employee protections, even well-intentioned policies can violate state law, leaving your business vulnerable to complaints, penalties, and costly mistakes.

Don’t wait until the deadline to find out your policies need updating.
