They just passed that last year. Other states have no requirements to offer you any kind of time off. It's up to you to figure this stuff out when you apply for a job. They generally put some info in the job ad, but it's usually vague. "Two weeks vacation" "health, dental, vision insurance" 401k.
That doesn't tell you anything because there are too many variables to consider. Some companies make you take an entire day off, others have Paid Time Off hours that accrue at a certain rate depending on how long you've been working there, some require you to take at least a certain amount off at a time, some let you use a single hour. Health insurance is a minefield, could be a high deductible plan with a deductible and then you pay a percentage up to your out of pocket max. Sometimes the individual cost is minimal and then jumps considerably for dependents. Dental can cover certain things and not others. Sometimes they will only match your retirement contributions at 50% up to 6% sometimes they'll match them dollar for dollar.
It's a system that makes it difficult to leave a shitty job.
Part time workers rarely get any benefits.
