Everyone, at one time or another, has worked with that person who comes to work with a bad cold. Not only is it annoying, but it also jeopardizes the health of other employees. But have you ever stopped to think that maybe your co-worker came to work because they didn’t have enough paid sick time available and wouldn’t get paid for a missed day or two?
Compliance with State and Municipality Sick Leaves
In the past, granting paid sick leave was at the employer’s discretion in the private sector. While employees are covered for long-term leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), there’s no federal paid sick leave act that requires a private employer to pay for short-term illness. We’re seeing a growing movement of laws being created at state and local levels designed to protect employees who might be forced to choose between going to work sick and infecting their co-workers or calling in sick and potentially losing pay or, in the worst-case scenario, even their jobs.
Some cities such as Los Angeles have further expanded the definition of family members who are covered under an employer’s sick leave policies to include “any individual related by blood or affinity whose close association with the employee is the equivalent of a family relationship.”
Private employers in more than a dozen states, plus more than two dozen municipalities across the U.S., are required to provide some form of paid sick leave to an eligible employee. If you have employees in any state or municipality that has paid sick leave laws, you should take every step possible to help ensure you’re in compliance with those laws. Your job is made even more difficult if your company does business in multiple states or localities, each of which may have their own paid sick leave laws.
With so many different rules, it’s important to understand the nuances of each law and determine how the laws work together (or don’t) so you can write appropriate leave policies, establish procedures, and guide your management teams.
How to Craft a Paid Sick Leave Policy
If you do have to follow paid sick leave requirements, one of the main decisions you’ll need to make is whether your employees will accrue paid sick time based on the number of hours they work each week or if they will draw from a bank of sick time that is frontloaded at the start of every year. If you have multiple locations, you’ll also need to decide if you will apply a single policy to every location or if you will apply different policies for each state or municipality where your employees work.
Many paid sick leave laws also include “safe time” or “safe leave” provisions, which provide paid sick leave entitlements to employees affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Under these laws, an employee may be allowed to take leave not only to get medical care but also to attend court proceedings, move, go to counseling appointments, or receive services from a victims’ services group.
Employees are typically protected from any employer retaliation when asking for or using their sick leave hours. So, it’s critical that your managers not only understand the laws and any procedures they’re required to follow when an employee submits a sick leave request, but also understand that any negative reaction to a request could be viewed as retaliatory in nature.
