Alabama HB21 allows parents and guardians to take leave to attend school-related activities.

Alabama HB21, the Parental Right to Participate in Schools Act, permits parents and guardians to take up to hours of leave annually from employment to attend school-related activities. The leave may be unpaid or substituted with available paid leave at the employee's discretion. Employers may deny leave if it would substantially disrupt business operations. Employers must post notice of this leave requirement and face fines for noncompliance. Employees can file complaints with the Alabama Department of Workforce, which will enforce the act.
