New Mexico earned sick leave rules
Since July 1, 2022, every private employer gives at least 1 hour of earned sick leave for every 30 hours worked, or may instead grant the full 64 hours on January 1 of each year. An employer need not allow more than 64 hours of use in a 12-month period. Unused leave carries over and is not paid out at separation; it is reinstated on rehire within 12 months. Use is in hourly increments or smaller. Documentation may be asked only for 2 or more consecutive work days. Paid at the same hourly rate and benefits. Overtime-exempt employees are assumed to work 40 hours a week unless their normal week is shorter.
