This Law Firm Publication by Jackson Lewis LLP discusses Vermont Human Rights Comm'n & Stanley v. Vermont Agency of Transp., in which the Vermont Supreme Court held that the Vermont Parental and Family Leave Act (VPFLA) does not require employers to allow employees to accrue paid vacation and sick time during unpaid parental leave. The court held that permitting an employee to demand accrual of paid leave during unpaid parental leave would be contrary to the employer's obligation to only provide unpaid leave.
