Learning Objective

  • To discuss the various states and municipalities mandating paid sick leave.
  • To explain the good points and not-so-good points about both types of paid leave.
  • To analyze how to do cost benefits analysis to determine the best time of program for your organization.
  • To review what to look for when planning the change.
  • To effectively communicate changes that are critical to the success of the change in your program.
  • To develop a plan of action to ensure all bases are covered.

Course Overview

Sixteen states and the District of Columbia now require employers to provide paid sick leave to their employees. In addition, 22 municipalities require employees to receive paid sick leave and 14 states are considering passing laws soon. A Federal Law requiring paid sick leave seems to be getting closer to becoming a reality.

Do you have a Federal Contract?  If so, you are required to have a sick leave policy. 

Do you have a contract with a municipality?  If so, have you checked the fine print to see if you have to offer paid sick leave to your employees? 

Every Law is Different

One thing to know is that every state and municipal law requiring mandatory paid sick leave is different. Trying to comply with all of them is causing much confusion. For example, Vermont requires paid sick leave to be offered after one year of service while others require it after 90 or 120 days. New York's law requires sick leave to be paid as it accrues. Most require you to offer paid sick leave to part-time employees.  Other requires it of all employees – even those who work on an on-call basis. 

Is Your PTO Plan Obsolete?

PTO or a Paid Time Off program that combined vacation and sick leave into one bucket of time off was the trend for many years. With the passage of these laws, many organizations are doing away with their PTO as many states require payment of unused PTO upon termination. However, the same states do not require payment of unused sick leave. Organizations can maintain their PTO Plans, but at what cost?

In this CPE Business Law webinar, we will be reviewing mandatory paid sick leave laws in place now, review many of the differences, and go over how to transition from a Sick/Vacation policy to a PTO policy as well as making the transition from a PTO plan to a Sick/Vacation plan.

Key topics covered in this CPE course:

  • Current Mandatory Paid Sick Leave Laws are in place.
  • A review of pending legislation.
  • A review of the different Mandatory Paid Sick Leave Requirements
  • Examples of the Quandary of Compliance
  • A comparison of PTO policies vs. Sick/Vacation
  • Conducting a cost-benefit analysis for both plans
  • Planning for change
  • Communication of the change
  • Action Items for participants
