Indiana Employment Updates

July 7, 2025

School Leave

Effective July 1, 2025, Indiana employees have access to unpaid, job-protected leave for school meetings. The leave is available once per calendar year each for attendance conferences and individualized education plan meetings.

Employers can:

  • Require a minimum of five days notice
  • Require that employees make a reasonable attempt to attend virtually
  • Limit the leave time to include meeting time and travel to/from the meeting only
  • Request documentation from the school or employee

This change should be updated in your employee handbook and/or outlined in your employee leave policy.
