The 2027 Virginia Paid Leave Mandate

As an agency owner, staying ahead of employment law changes isn't just about compliance. It's about protecting your business, your employees, and your bottom line.

Virginia's landmark paid sick leave law takes effect on July 1, 2027, introducing new requirements that will impact employers across the Commonwealth. While the phased rollout begins with businesses employing 50 or more employees, every employer should begin preparing now to avoid compliance challenges later.

Join Paige McAllister of The Workplace Advisors as she breaks down what the new law means for your organization and the steps you can take today to prepare. You'll learn how leave accrual requirements work, what tracking and recordkeeping obligations may apply, and how to update policies and employee handbooks before the deadline arrives. Leave with practical guidance and greater confidence in your organization's readiness for this significant employment law change.

This Session will provide: 

• Understand which employers are impacted during the phased implementation of Virginia's new paid sick leave law.
• Explain the 1-to-30-hour leave accrual requirements and how they may affect your workforce.
• Identify recordkeeping and tracking practices needed to support compliance.
• Evaluate and update employee handbook policies in preparation for the July 1, 2027 effective date.
