DC Sick Leave Q & A

In January the Council of the District of Columbia passed sick leave legislation that directly affects your business. RAMW and Saul Ewing LLP are hosting a Q&A Discussion for Restaurants on the Earned Sick and Safe Leave Amendment Act and the HR implications it has for your business on May 6th from 3-4pm. This is the opportunity to ask and have answered any questions you may have regarding sick leave and to gain clarity to ensure you are in full compliance.
 
Sick Leave Q&A Discussion
 
Who: Robert Duston, Saul Ewing LLP
When: Tuesday, May 6th, from 3-4pm
Where: Saul Ewing, LLP, 1919 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Suite 550
 
It is important you are up to date  and implement a plan that will help minimize the impact on your business.  If you are not in compliance you could be subject to fines, administrative action or civil action. Please see below for a breakdown of the Earned Sick and Safe Leave Amendment Act.

Earned Sick and Safe Leave Amendment Act of 2013:

• All employees are eligible to accrue a minimum of five paid leave days a year.
• Accrual starts on the employees first day, but the employee does not have access to the leave until 90 days of employment.
• The accrual rate is no less than one hour for every forty-three hours worked. Overtime does not influence accrual rate, and you cannot accrue leave time through overtime work.
• Accrued leave does rollover from year to year, and does not reset after a year of employment.
