IS EMPLOYEE PAID TIME OFF MANDATED?

The answer is YES if you are a Philadelphia employer with 10 or more employees, based on legislation signed by Mayor Michael Nutter. Effective May 13, 2015, Philadelphia will require employers to provide paid sick leave to their employees.

• Other state and local governments have already put into effect legislation that requires certain minimum amounts of paid time by employers for their employees.

The answer is also YES if you’re a Microsoft vendor. Last month, Microsoft announced that it will require all of its vendors with employees or more to provide a total of 15 days of paid sick time and vacation time annually to their employees.

• Microsoft’s employees currently receive 15 to 25 paid vacation days annually (depending on their length of service) plus 10 days of paid sick time a year

The answer will be YES for US employers if the Obama administration has its way. It’s pushing for mandating paid sick leave through the Healthy Families Act, which was introduced to Congress in February.

• The bill would give workers 7 days of paid sick leave per year.
• Although many employers provide paid sick days, the administration cites that 43 million American workers do NOT receive any paid sick time.
• According to the President, America is the only advanced economy in the world that does not require paid sick leave.

TRINITY’S PERSPECTIVE

Monte Carlo, known for the Monaco Formula One Grand Prix, the Hotel de Paris in Casino http://cute-n-tiny.com/cute-animals/cutest-puppies/ cialis samples Square and the sandy beaches facing the Mediterranean, will enthrall viewers from around the world as Kidman struts her stuff in her latest role, a romantic comedy about a teacher who takes a vacation with her friends in Paris and ends up pretending to be a wealthy woman vacationing in Monte.
1. Most employers (even those small businesses) recognize the value of providing some form of reasonable paid time off for their employees, and already do so.
2. The issue of the amount and type of paid time off should be between an employer and its employees (or in the case of unionized employees, their collective bargaining agent)—not the government.

RECOMMENDED EMPLOYER ACTION

1. Write to your Congressmen urging them not to support passage of the Healthy Families Act.
2. Ensure that any professional associations or Chambers of Commerce are working against passage of the bill.
3. Let you state & local legislators know that paid time off should be between an employer and its employees.
