Paid Sick Leave

 
As a reminder, the repeal of PSL and annual minimum wage increases tied to inflation takes effect on August 28, 2025.

They’ve also provided a sample notice for employers to use in communicating with employees: propa-navigatingtherepeal-employerfaq-1.pdf
 
Proposals are already underway for a 2026 constitutional amendment, which would reinstate paid sick leave and make it much harder for lawmakers to undo again in the future.  Keeping what you have already implemented can be a good bet (and the best bet for employee morale).
