With San Francisco leading the pack in 2006 with their guaranteed access to earned sick days. Shortly after, Connecticut and Washington, D.C. More recently, California and Massachusetts also guarantee access to paid sick days.
Why should paid sick leave be accrued depending on the hours you work? While some of us are in salary positions, with paid time off being incorporated in offer letters, employees that work hourly positions do not have this added benefit.
