Paid time off is a very important component of any Pennsylvania employer's benefits package. Paid time off, or leave, is a key driver of employee satisfaction, so it does not matter if you are in Philadelphia or Pittsburgh, ensuring a quality and appropriate leave plan is important. Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is a federal law and each state has their own specific variations, so you must ensure your business is in compliance.
Employers in Pennsylvania provide consolidated leave packages to 37% of their employees. Consolidated leave plans are becoming more popular among employers. The first thing that comes to mind for an employer is whether or not they want to offer a consolidated leave plan or a non-consolidated plan.

Paid sick leave is available to 85% of PA employers. If you provide a paid sick leave policy, it must explain what qualifies and when notifications are given.

It's critical to figure out how much time off you'll need. The holidays provided may differ based on your industry and the competitive nature of your business. Should you give Presidents' Day or Veterans Day? Should you offer both? Currently 33% of businesses provide their employees with just six paid holidays each year. What's more, 55% give between 7 and 10 paid vacations, while 26% offer more than 10 paid days off per year.
