Webinar Recording: Guidance on State and Local Paid Sick Leave Laws - Part 5

Part 5: Spotlighting Practical Tips on Navigating the National Paid Sick Leave Laws Patchwork in 2021

The country’s paid sick leave (PSL) patchwork continues to evolve and impose perplexing and burdensome compliance obligations on even the most well-intentioned employers. Add in the COVID-19 pandemic and corresponding state and local COVID-19 PSL laws as well as the remote and hybrid work models still in effect at many workplaces, the PSL patchwork can seem more daunting than ever. This is especially true as a federal PSL mandate (unlike a federal paid family and medical leave mandate) seems unlikely in the near future.

Members of Seyfarth’s paid leave team are here to help with practical tips for employers of all sizes and industries on how to navigate the current PSL landscape. Topics covered include:

• Updates on the nationwide PSL landscape with respect to both COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 PSL mandates;
• A discussion on select nationwide PSL compliance options for employers, including thoughts on “one-size-fits-all” and “one-size-fits-most” setups;
• Guidance on using a paid time off (PTO) or other non-sick paid leave program, such as vacation or personal time, for PSL law compliance, including the benefits and drawbacks of this option;
• A discussion on “Unlimited” PTO policies and PSL law considerations.
