HB822

Hawaii HB822 mandates employers to provide up to five days of leave for reproductive loss events.

Hawaii HB822 amends Chapter 378 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes to introduce a new part on reproductive loss leave. Employers must allow employees up to five days of leave following a reproductive loss event, which includes miscarriage, stillbirth, failed adoption, failed surrogacy, or unsuccessful assisted reproduction. Leave can be nonconsecutive and must be completed within three months. If an employee experiences more than one event within a year, the total leave cannot exceed twenty days.
