The Rise of Paid Sick Leave Mandates at the State and Local Level and Their Effect on Employers
If you follow politics at all, you know that the United States Congress has essentially been mired in gridlock for quite some time, failing to adopt significant legislation in any area, including employment law. Congress' inaction has left a void for states and municipalities to fill, and more and more frequently, they are filling this void by adopting equal pay legislation, raising the minimum wage, or instituting paid parental leave.
The recent proliferation of paid sick leave mandates, which are typically popular with the general electorate, is another perfect example. To date, five states ' California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Oregon, and Vermont ' have adopted paid sick leave laws that affect a significant number, if not all, of the employers in those states. In addition, numerous cities, including New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington, DC, and most recently, Minneapolis, have hopped on the bandwagon by adopting paid sick leave ordinances.
