CLIENT ALERT: PHILADELPHIA BUSINESSES MUST OFFER PAID SICK LEAVE TO EMPLOYEES

H. Adam Shapiro

On Thursday City Council in Philadelphia passed a paid sick day bill which Mayor Nutter immediately signed into law. In essence, an employee will accrue 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 40 hours worked which works out to be about 5 days of paid sick leave per year. Employers with less than 10 employees are exempt and need not provide paid sick time. Philadelphia is the 17th city in the country to require paid sick leave. Mayor Nutter previously vetoed this bill twice but stated that since the economy is doing much better it was the appropriate time to sign this bill into law. The law will take effect in 90 days.
