Wyoming . Leave . Updated April 2026

Wyoming has no state-mandated paid leave programs.

Wyoming does not require employers to provide paid sick leave (PSL) or paid family and medical leave (PFML) at the state level. Employers are generally only subject to federal leave mandates, such as the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) for larger employers, and federal pregnancy accommodation requirements.

What those rules do as a Wyoming shift is created.

While Wyoming maintains a hands-off approach to state-mandated paid leave, federal regulations still apply. Teambridge ensures that your operations remain compliant with these federal standards, particularly regarding FMLA and pregnancy accommodations, even in the absence of state-specific mandates.

No State Paid Leave Calculation

When processing payroll or scheduling shifts for Wyoming employees, Teambridge will not apply any state-specific paid sick leave or paid family/medical leave accrual or payout rules, as none exist.

Federal FMLA Eligibility Flagging

For employers with 50 or more employees, Teambridge flags employee eligibility for federal FMLA leave based on hours worked and tenure, ensuring compliance with federal family and medical leave provisions.

Pregnancy Accommodation Guidance

Teambridge provides guidance on federal pregnancy accommodation requirements under the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) for employers with 15+ employees, and under the Wyoming Fair Employment Practices Act (FEPA) for employers with 2+ employees, advising on reasonable accommodations.

The rule, plainly stated

Wyoming does not mandate state-level paid sick leave or family/medical leave.

Wyoming remains one of the states without its own comprehensive state-mandated paid sick leave (PSL) or paid family and medical leave (PFML) programs. This means employers are not required by state law to provide paid time off for illness, family care, or personal medical reasons beyond what federal law dictates or company policy establishes.

Wyoming State Statute § 27-4-101 et seq. (Wage and Hour Act) and § 27-9-101 et seq. (Wyoming Fair Employment Practices Act) do not include provisions for state-mandated paid leave.

Federal FMLA and PWFA Applicability

Despite the absence of state-specific mandates, federal laws continue to govern leave entitlements for eligible employees in Wyoming. The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) requires employers with 50 or more employees to provide up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave for specific family and medical reasons. Additionally, the federal Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA), applicable to employers with 15 or more employees, mandates reasonable accommodations for a worker’s known limitations related to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions.

Wyoming Fair Employment Practices Act (FEPA)

The Wyoming Fair Employment Practices Act (W.S. § 27-9-101 et seq.) prohibits discrimination based on sex, which includes pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, for employers with two or more employees. While not a direct leave mandate, FEPA requires employers to treat employees affected by pregnancy or childbirth the same as other employees who are temporarily disabled, potentially impacting leave and accommodation policies.
