Under Hawaii’s Temporary Disability Insurance (TDI) law, most state and private-sector workers disabled by pregnancy or the termination of a pregnancy are entitled to up to 26 weeks of partial wage replacement each year. To be eligible, an employee must have worked at least 14 weeks and earned at least $400 in the previous 52 weeks. An extra perk: the rule applies to all employers, even the smallest ones.
Job-protected family leave is available for employers who have been working full time for at least six months. Hawaii also gets points for allowing workers more flexible use of sick leave than they would get under federal law.
