Updated Feb 24, 2026

Summary

Primary Sponsor: Jack Williams
Republican
Session: Regular Session 2014
Title: Employment regulation, counties, municipalities, or other political subdivision may not require employers to grant vacation or other leave to employees
Summary: HB360 prevents local governments in Alabama from forcing private employers to provide vacation or other leave beyond what state or federal law requires.
What This Bill Does
If passed, counties and cities cannot enact rules that require private employers to give employees extra vacation or unpaid leave beyond minimum legal requirements, and they cannot require payment for such extra leave. The law does not limit leave mandates for the political subdivision's own employees. Any local rule that conflicts with this act would be void, and the act takes effect immediately after the governor signs it.

Who It Affects
Private employers in Alabama: cannot be compelled by local governments to provide extra vacation or leave beyond law, and cannot be forced to compensate for such leave.
Local governments (counties, municipalities, or other political subdivisions): cannot enact or enforce ordinances that require private employers to provide extra leave; they may still set leave rules for their own employees.

Key Provisions
Prohibition on local mandates: Counties, municipalities, or political subdivisions may not enact or administer rules requiring employers to provide vacation or leave beyond what state or federal law requires, and cannot require compensation for such leave.
Exceptions for subdivision's own employees: The act does not apply to mandates relating to vacation or leave for employees of the political subdivision themselves.
Inconsistency void: Any local ordinance that conflicts with this act is void.
Effective date: The act becomes effective immediately after the governor signs it.
