ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — A measure to require paid sick leave in Maryland is moving forward in the House of Delegates.
Delegates gave the bill initial approval Wednesday. The Democrat-controlled House could pass the legislation as early as Friday.
The measure would require businesses with more than 15 employees to provide earned paid sick leave.
The bill advancing in the House provides required paid leave to more people than an alternative proposal by Republican Gov. Larry Hogan.

Keep your hands off of the private sector. FFS, these morons have already made the public sector worthless.
ReplyDeleteThe Peoples Republic of Md strikes again. First 7% increase in electric rates and now this! If employees aren't happy they are free to find other employ. I will require a DRs note for my employees regardless of what the commies in Annapolis say. There will be widespread abuse especially in menial labor positions. Sad

Hard to believe you are a business owner with employees. If you are, your employees hate you if you view them so unfavorably. Most businesses NEED their employees to operate and make a profit. With your attitude, I'm sure there is no loyalty from them, and they probably feel justified in cheating you every chance that they get.
And that DRs note requirement? I'm sure the legislature is going to address that. Regardless, if YOU require DR note to give the employee a paid sick day, then that will just cost your business even more money, as your health care costs will skyrocket. If you have enough employees to be covered under the sick leave law, you have enough to be covered by the health care laws. And the doctors will absolutely take your insurance money and give every one of the employees what you require to give them a paid sick day.
I don't think you can possibly be an employer if you have that little business sense.

ReplyDeleteYour employees might, just might, be happy with their JOBS, but I guarantee they have no respect for you as an employer, with the attitude towards them like you have. I bet they cheat you every chance they get. And employers like you deserve it!
