Labor & Employment (Paid Leave)

Exempts an employer that is required by contract to provide services to another entity by means of having one or more of its employees work at the facilities of the other entity for the entire daily work period and that must pay an additional employee to provide substitute services in the absence of the original contracted-for employee from the requirement to provide paid sick leave.

This bill exempts daycare and childcare facility employers from the requirement to provide paid sick leave for employees affected by COVID-19 quarantine or isolation orders. It amends a 2020 law (Chapter 25) to add a specific exemption for these employers, removing their obligation to cover such leave under existing sick leave rules. The exemption is temporary, set to expire on the same date as the original 2020 provisions it modifies. This directly affects daycare and childcare facility employers, not other businesses or employees.
