AI Summary
This bill adds a new section to existing Idaho law to prohibit employers from penalizing employees for using their earned or accrued sick leave. Specifically, the bill makes it unlawful for an employer to count the use of earned or accrued sick leave as an absence that results in discipline or any other adverse action, or to restrict an employee from using such leave for their own illness, injury, health condition, or need for medical diagnosis. The bill also clarifies that it does not create a new financial obligation for employers to pay out unused sick leave upon an employee's termination, resignation, retirement, or other separation from employment.
