How long is sick leave in the United States of America?

In the United States, there is no federal law mandating that all private employers provide job-protected paid sick leave or paid time off. However, under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), eligible employees can receive up to 12 weeks of job-protected, unpaid leave for specific situations. Furthermore, various cities, counties, and states have enacted their own job-protected paid leave laws. These laws may require employees to accrue, or employers to grant, job-protected paid leave for specific reasons. Additionally, some jurisdictions have implemented paid time off laws in which job-protected paid leave is accumulated via an accrual or grant system and can be used for any reason.
