Are sick leave laws making you want to call in sick?
Mandatory sick leave policies are the latest hot button HR issue. Grassroots campaigns have been successful in getting sick leave laws passed, and nowhere more than in New Jersey. As of June 30, New Jersey had no fewer than nine municipalities with sick leave laws in effect: Bloomfield, East Orange, Irvington, Jersey City, Montclair, Newark, Passaic, Paterson and Trenton. Under each of these laws, sick time accrues at the rate of one hour of sick leave for every 30 hours worked.
That is where the similarities end. The differences in the laws may seem minor, but they cause major headaches for employers.
