Under Connecticut law, eligible employees must receive 40 hours of paid sick leave per year. Employers may frontload this entitlement at the start of the benefit year, and may prorate the frontloaded amount for employees hired after the benefit year begins. This calculator provides an estimated prorated frontload of sick leave for the current year, using a calendar-year benefit period. Some employers may use a different benefit year.
