Wyoming Time Off Work

An employer in Wyoming does not need to offer any paid leave benefits such as vacation time, sick days, holidays, nor paid time off (PTO). Employers are required to offer unpaid leave in the following situations:

1.  Family and medical leave. If an employer has at least 50 employees they can give the employee up to 12 weeks (sometimes longer) of unpaid time off per year for a situation such as care giving or illness through the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) under the federal law.

2.  Military Leave. In Wyoming, employees can have time off for active state duty, training, or a qualifying physical exam. Employees must be reinstated after their leave, and may not be discriminated against based on their service. Under the following two the federal Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) and Wyoming law require employers to allow employees to take leave from work for federal or state military service.

3.  Jury duty and voting. Wyoming employers must grant their employees to take unpaid time off work for jury service. Employers in Wyoming must also allow their employees to have up to one hour of paid time off to vote, unless the employee has three consecutive hours of non-work time when the polls are open (Wyo. Stat. § 22-2-111).
