Hawaii family and medical leave - key facts
Federal FMLA protections plus Hawaii-specific paid leave information
Hawaii leave law overview
Hawaii's Temporary Disability Insurance program provides wage replacement for workers who cannot work due to a non-work-related disability including pregnancy. Hawaii is one of five states with a mandatory TDI program. Hawaii also has the Hawaii Family Leave Law providing up to 4 weeks of unpaid leave for family care.
Hawaii's TDI covers pregnancy-related disabilities and provides up to 26 weeks of benefits - significantly longer than most state paid leave programs. However Hawaii TDI is primarily for the worker's own medical condition, not for family care or bonding.
Federal FMLA in Hawaii
All Hawaii workers at employers with 50 or more employees within 75 miles are also covered by the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (29 U.S.C. 2601). Federal FMLA provides up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave per year for a qualifying serious health condition, to care for a family member, or to bond with a new child. You must have worked for your employer for at least 12 months and at least 1,250 hours in the past year to be eligible.
Governing law
Hawaii leave law is governed by Hawaii Revised Statutes HRS 392-1 (HRS § 392-1). The official authority for Hawaii family and medical leave is the Hawaii Department of Labor and Industrial Relations.
