Senate Majority Leader Aaron Ford has introduced
SB 196, which would require employers to provide paid sick leave to ALL of your employees.
In summary, this bill states:
-every employer must offer earned sick leave that is to be accrued I hour for every 30 hours worked
-may be used by an employee 90 days after the start of employment
-employers can limit the use to 24 years per year
-employers can limit the accrual to a maximum of 48 hours per year
-employers can set a minimum increment of leave that can be used at one time, but that minimum can't exceed 2 hours
-employers must maintain records for inspection for up to three years after an employee has left and must provide employees with documentation of their accrued sick leave every pay period
-you would not be required to compensate for unused sick leave upon employment separation, but if an employee returns within one year, their unused leave is returned to them
-can be fined $5,000 for each violation
