Bill > HB05520

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 557 of the general statutes to exempt local and regional boards of education from the requirement to provide paid sick leave to their employees. Currently, many employers are required to offer paid sick leave to their workers, which allows employees to take paid time off when they are ill or need to care for a sick family member. By exempting boards of education from this requirement, the bill would allow school districts to choose whether or not to provide paid sick leave to their employees, potentially reducing financial obligations for school districts while potentially impacting the employment benefits of educators and school staff. The bill is straightforward in its intent to create an exception to existing paid sick leave regulations specifically for educational institutions.
