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 offer paid sick time to their workers. Employees could earn up to 56 hours of paid time off each year for personal or family health needs, or issues like domestic violence. Right now, paid sick leave depends on your employer or state laws.
Today, there is no federal law requiring employers to offer paid sick leave. Whether an employee gets paid time off for illness or family care depends on their employer or state/local laws. After this bill, most employers would be required to provide paid sick time, allowing employees to earn up to 56 hours per year for personal or family health needs, or for issues related to domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking.
