Minnesota and Illinois passed mandatory sick leave laws that went into effect on January 1, 2024. and California increased the minimum number of days of sick leave required from 24 hours per year to 40 hours. A Federal Law requiring paid sick leave seems to be getting closer to becoming a reality.
Do you have a Federal Contract? If so, you are required to provide paid sick leave to your employees.
Do you have a contract with a municipality? If so, have you checked the fine print to see if the contract requires you to offer paid sick leave to your employees?
Every Law is Different
One thing to know is that every state and municipal law requiring mandatory paid sick leave is different. Trying to comply with all of them is causing much confusion. For example, Vermont requires paid sick leave be offered after one year of service while other require it after 90 or 120 days. New York and Colorado require sick leave be paid as it accrues. Most require you to offer paid sick leave to part-time employees. Others require it of all employees – even those who work on an on-call basis.
Is Your PTO Plan Obsolete?
PTO or a Paid Time Off program that combined vacation and sick leave into one bucket of time off was the trend for many years. With the passage of these laws, many organizations are doing away with their PTO as many states require payment of unused PTO upon termination. However, the same states do not require payment of unused sick leave. Organizations can maintain their PTO Plans, but at what cost?
In this webinar, we will be reviewing mandatory paid sick leave laws in place now, review many of the differences and go over how to transition from a Sick/Vacation policy to a PTO policy as well as making the transition from a PTO plan to a Sick/Vacation plan.
