Gov. Larry Hogan Announces Paid Sick Leave Proposal

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Gov. Larry Hogan said Wednesday he will propose a “common sense” paid sick leave measure to balance the needs of employees without hurting the state’s small businesses.

A leading Democrat who has been working on legislation, however, doubts the Republican governor’s proposal goes far enough to win support from advocates who have been pushing for legislation for several years.

Under Hogan’s plan, businesses with 50 or more employees would be required to offer paid sick leave of at least 40 hours a year. That would include the ability for employees to roll over a maximum of 40 hours annually.

Maryland businesses with fewer than 50 employees that choose to offer paid sick leave will be eligible for tax relief incentives modeled after a recommendation from a bipartisan panel that studied ways to improve Maryland’s business climate.

(:33 must have missed that part about tax credits for small businesses. Don't let facts get in the way of being a "republican" with no education and really believing that either party gives a crap about anyone in upper middle class and down.
