Thanks, Clare!

I am confused about the following section.  DId they miss a sentence about full time status for the 
difference between small and large employers?  (i.e. 40 hours + 32  and 72 hours of paid sick leave?)
Thank you.

2. Earned Sick Time Act (ESTA):

The reinstated ESTA will replace the current PMLA. The ESTA mandates that employers grant employees one hour of paid sick time for every 30 hours worked, subject to annual maximums. Small employers (employers with less than 10 employees) must offer 40 hours of paid sick leave and 32 hours of unpaid leave. Large employers (more than 10 employees) must provide 72 hours of paid sick leave.

Hello All!

 

Here is a link to the explanation of the Minimum Wage and Paid Leave changes by Mike Blum and his team at Foster Swift:

It is a good idea for libraries to consult their attorneys before determining any changes to their policies.

 

Take care!
