The General Assembly passed the bill which requires companies with 15 or more employees to provide five paid sick days. Supporters of the measure are calling on the governor to make a move.
The bill will become law. It's just a matter of when. Either Hogan could sign it or let it become law without his signature. Since the measure passed by a veto proof margin, if he veto's it the general assembly will override it next session.
The hard fought five-year legislative battle to put earned paid sick leave legislation on the Hogan's desk is in limbo.
Initially, opposed to the Democrats bill on an issue he supports.

What can he do? Your description is that it's hopeless and not worth bothering with. Maybe I am simply missing something.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I wonder if an Ocean City bus driver who calls out sick can be protected from being fired before he ever see a single day of sick pay.
Sounds like an all bull$hit activity.
Wonder if you get 10 days PTO, do they still have to provide 5 days sick leave?
ReplyDeleteDemocrats never seem to get it. Whenever they push themselves into business in any way they end up costing employees jobs not their own. Business owners don't like being regulated to do anything beyond their normal scope. As with Obamacare, employers once paid all the employees' premiums where as now they don't. All because government stuck their fat noses into private market's business. Didn't people and legislators learn anything from the last seven years of BS? Keep the hell out of the free markets and the economy will recover. Keep messing around with it, and more people will lose their jobs. The choice is really up to you and, of course, who you VOTE for.
ReplyDeleteHe's playing politics with it. He'll let it die by veto, at the last minute, and make the legislature vote on it again next year.
