Bill > SB00625

This bill proposes to amend section 31-57r of the Connecticut General Statutes to provide a clear definition of "day" for the purposes of paid sick leave statutes. Specifically, the bill defines a "day" as eight hours worked by an employee, which establishes a standardized measurement for calculating paid sick leave. This definition helps clarify how sick leave is accrued and used, ensuring consistency across different workplace scenarios. By setting a uniform eight-hour standard for what constitutes a "day" of work, the bill aims to provide clarity for both employers and employees when implementing and tracking paid sick leave benefits. The proposed change is part of the state's ongoing efforts to refine and improve labor regulations, making the interpretation of sick leave policies more straightforward and equitable.
