Vermont House passes, sends to governor paid sick leave bill

[cal04]

The Vermont House has passed a Senate version of a paid sick leave bill and sent it to Gov. Peter Shumlin, who supports it.

The House voted 81-64 on Wednesday to concur in Senate changes to a bill the House first passed last spring. The Senate changes make the measure somewhat more business-friendly.

The measure calls for employers to provide workers three paid sick days a year for the first two years the law would be in effect and five thereafter. It does not cover employees working fewer than 18 hours a week or 21 weeks a year.
