With Overwhelming Vote, New York City Council Passes Paid Sick Day Law
New York City is poised to require employers to provide their workers with sick days. The City Council, by a vote of 45-3, has passed legislation requiring New York City private-sector employers, outside of the manufacturing industry, to provide paid (or unpaid, for certain employers) sick time to employees. The measure approved by the Council on May 8, 2013, reflects a compromise between advocates of such legislation, opponents in the business community and City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, whose delay in bringing the bill for a vote was used (and continues to be used) against her by other mayoral candidates.
