AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require employers with one or more employees to let workers earn at least 1 hour of paid sick time for every 30 hours worked, up to 56 hours a year unless the employer sets a higher limit. Workers could use the time for their own illness or medical care, to care for a family member, or for needs related to domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Employers could ask for a doctor's note or other documentation if the leave lasts more than 3 workdays in a row, and could not punish workers for using the time. Workers and the Secretary of Labor could sue employers who violate the law, and employers must post notices about these rights.
