In plain language

Employers must provide sick leave to telecommuting employees on the same terms as on-site employees.

This bill requires that employees who work remotely receive paid sick leave under the same conditions as those who work in person. It ensures fairness in sick leave policies for telecommuters.

What this means for you
  • Workers: If you work remotely, you will receive sick leave benefits equivalent to those of on-site employees.
  • Families: Families with telecommuting members can expect those workers to have access to the same sick leave benefits as their in-office counterparts.

Summary

Requires an employer to provide sick leave to an employee who telecommutes at the same rate and under the same conditions that an employee present at the employer's work site would accrue it.
