Requires most employers to let workers earn paid sick time for health and family needs.
This bill would require most employers across the country to let their workers earn paid sick time. Employees could use this time for their own health, to care for family members, or for needs related to domestic violence or sexual assault.
Today, there is no federal law requiring most employers to provide paid sick leave for personal or family health needs, or for issues related to domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. This bill would establish a federal requirement for most employers to provide employees with at least 1 hour of earned paid sick time for every 30 hours worked, up to a maximum of 56 hours per year, for these specified health and safety-related reasons.
