Maryland HB1524 mandates employers to provide paid leave for parents to attend school functions of their enrolled children.

Maryland HB1524 requires employers with one or more employees to provide at least hours of paid leave annually for parents to attend school functions of their children enrolled in public or nonpublic elementary or secondary schools. The leave must be used within specific monthly limits and employers cannot require the use of compensatory, sick, or vacation leave. The leave must comply with collective bargaining agreements or employment policies, and if these provide equal or greater benefits, they prevail. The Commissioner of Labor can compel compliance and issue orders for violations.
