Bill > H0475

This bill adds to existing law to provide certain requirements regarding the use of earned paid sick leave. It prohibits employers from counting earned paid sick leave as an absence that may lead to discipline or from restricting employees from using earned sick leave for their own or an immediate family member's mental or physical illness or health condition. The bill also requires employers to have a written policy for providing notice of the need to use earned paid sick leave, and it clarifies that the law does not require financial reimbursement for unused accrued sick leave upon termination or that it diminish more generous sick leave policies or the rights of public employees. The provisions of the bill do not apply to employees covered by a valid collective bargaining agreement that expressly waives these requirements.
