Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - FSM Labor & Leave
How does annual leave accrue in the Federated States of Micronesia?
Under FSM Public Service regulations and prevailing labor practices, annual leave accrues biweekly based on years of continuous service: 4 hours per pay period (13 days/year) for under 3 years, 6 hours per pay period (19.5 or 20 days/year) for 3 to 15 years, and 8 hours per pay period (26 days/year) for more than 15 years.
What is the statutory sick leave accrual rate in FSM?
Eligible full-time employees accrue sick leave at a uniform rate of 4 hours per biweekly pay period (totaling 104 hours or 13 working days per calendar year) without limit on cumulative carry-over in public service systems.
Can unused annual leave be cashed out upon resignation or termination?
Yes. Upon separation from employment, employees are entitled to a lump-sum terminal leave payment for all accumulated, unused annual leave hours calculated at their final hourly wage rate.
What maternity leave protections exist under FSM labor law?
FSM National and State public sector policies provide female employees with maternity leave ranging from 6 to 8 weeks (30 to 40 working days) of paid leave for childbirth and post-natal care, supplemented by accrued sick or annual leave.
Are private sector employers required to provide the same leave tiers?
While Title 51 sets general employment principles, private sector leave schedules are governed by individual employment contracts and state-level labor ordinances (Pohnpei, Chuuk, Yap, Kosrae), though most established enterprises align with public service benchmarks.
