Hello!
Please note that the Paid Leave and Minimum Wage changes due to be implemented in February can be very complex depending on:
- A library’s existing relationship with its municipality (i.e. if the library actually is the legal employer of the
library staff – which is the situation in many libraries),
- The library’s current paid leave policies (do you have separate leave and sick policies or are they combined?,
- How large the library is (fewer than 10 employees or more than 10?).
and other factors.
One library’s policy will not likely transfer to another.
Review samples but please run a finished policy by your legal counsel!
Also, as Val indicated, there are several bills in lame duck that would change these laws before February. So you may wish to hold off finalizing a policy until the end of the
lame duck legislature on Dec. 20. In case the situation changes.
Thanks!

Hello everyone,
Has any library adopted a new policy concerning the new Earned Sick Time Act for their employee policy? We have three part-time employees. We would deeply appreciate if you could share any feedback or policy that your library has adopted.
Sincerely,
