House Bill 5514 - AN ACT MANDATING PAID SICK LEAVE.

This act, if passed, would require that employers who have fifty or more employees provide up to six days of paid sick leave per year. We are OPPOSING this bill that would essentially handcuff businesses from making policy decisions for there workplace that is appropriate to the circumstances that the industry requires.

When reading about this bill it sounds like a great idea because the statement of purpose reads, “To improve the health of residents of Connecticut and to limit the transfer of infectious diseases in the workplace.”

In reality this legislation will make CT a less attractive place to do business.
