Guam Statutory Leave & FMLA Regulations
Leave rights in Guam are governed by Title 4 of the Guam Code Annotated (GCA, Chapter 4) for public employees and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and FMLA:
- GovGuam Service Tiers (4 GCA § 4108) : Full-time GovGuam employees earn annual leave based on length of service: 1-3 years (4 hours biweekly = 13 days/yr), 3-15 years (6 hours biweekly = 19.5 days/yr), and 15+ years (8 hours biweekly = 26 days/yr).
- Sick Leave : GovGuam employees accrue 4 hours of sick leave per biweekly pay period (104 hours/year). There is no statutory ceiling on the accumulation of sick leave, and unused sick leave may be credited toward retirement service years under the GGRF.
- Maximum Annual Leave Accumulation : By law, GovGuam employees may carry forward up to 320 hours of annual leave into the next fiscal year (excess leave is converted to sick leave or forfeited if not taken).
- Federal FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act) : Eligible employees working for employers with 50+ workers (and all public agencies) are entitled to up to 12 workweeks (480 hours) of unpaid, job-protected leave per 12-month period for qualified family or medical reasons.
