Maryland Senate delays vote on paid sick leave bill

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — The Maryland Senate has delayed a vote on a measure to allow workers at companies with 15 or more employees to earn paid sick leave.

The Senate was scheduled to vote on the bill Tuesday, but senators moved the measure back in the legislative process to make a change.

The change would require seasonal employees, such as students who work summer jobs, to provide their employer with a noted from a doctor to verify their illness. Senators approved the change on a voice vote.

Obamacare made everyone partime and now everyone will be classified as seasonal.

Employer - I will pay you $70 for a sick day if you spend $120 going to the doctor to verify you were sick.

Gotta love that government logic and employer whining.

This is only common sense. Seasonal workers would be saving up the sick days and leave the employer without help at the end of the season.

Much bigger items to work on than season sick leave today. We know how that $15 min wage approval will eliminate workers in certain industries while kiosks will take place of humans.
