Curious, although retired now, my employer's plan allowed us to accrue 10hrs of sick leave each month and there was no maximum accrual. In fact, accrued sick leave could be used at retirement to "buy" service time. I see this new proposal has limits of 56hrs a year and accrual max of 120 years. So would this new proposal CHANGE the current plans, or, is this ONLY for employer with no current sick leave plans??
OOPS....maximum accrual in this plan is only 80hrs, sorry!!
This is the minimum for employers and directed towards those crappy employers that don't offer sick time. Great employers have always offer it and provided more in terms of accrual and banking.
Another mandate for employers to pack up and move out. Legislating an increased cost burden on employers is always a job killer.
4:54 Yep, it used to be so much easier when there were no regulations and you could go to the auction and buy some "employees".
5:47 pm, You would be the first one I would buy and enslave.
Wow, I'm really surprised no one had to explain it to him, unless one person in the household has an IQ greater than their age.
