Do not already receive paid sick time through their employer.
Independent contractors and federally regulated employees would not qualify for paid leave under the legislation.
Doctor’s or Nurse’s Note
Employers would not be permitted to require an employee to provide a certificate from a doctor or nurse as evidence of their entitlement to paid leave.
Government Reimbursement
Eligible employers would be able to apply for a reimbursement from the government of up to $200 per paid leave day taken by an employee.
If an employee’s regular rate of pay is less than $200 per day, reimbursement to the employer would be no more than the employee’s regular rate of pay.
