The Guaranteed Paid Vacation Act aims to ensure that all employees in the United States receive paid annual leave, promoting work-life balance and allowing workers to take time off without losing income. Under this legislation, employers are required to provide at least one hour of paid leave for every 25 hours worked, with a maximum of 80 hours of paid leave per year. Employees begin accruing this leave immediately upon employment and can use it for any reason, receiving their regular pay during their time off.
