Although the Fair Labor Standards Act and its Texan equivalent, the Texas Minimum Wage Act, create minimum wage standards for employers, there is no federal or Texas state law requiring private employers to provide their employees with paid sick leave.
In 2011, Connecticut enacted a statewide statute requiring private-sector employers to provide paid sick leave to their employees. California followed with its own statewide law mandating paid sick leave in 2014. Since then, nine additional states and the District of Columbia have adopted laws requiring private-sector employers to provide paid sick leave to their employees.
