LB 1249 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Redefine terms, change provisions relating to the carryover of paid sick time, and repeal obsolete provisions in the Nebraska Healthy Families and Workplaces Act

This bill amends Nebraska's Healthy Families and Workplaces Act to clarify how paid sick time carries over between years. It sets a maximum of 40 hours for small business employees (11-19 workers) and 56 hours for other employees to carry over unused sick time annually. Employers can also choose to pay out unused sick time instead of allowing carryover, meeting the annual accrual requirements. The changes directly affect Nebraska employees covered by the sick leave law, including those working for small businesses.
