On Saturday, January 27, 2018, the Governor of Puerto Rico signed into law Act No. 60, establishing greater protections for non-exempt private sector employees by prohibiting employers from using sick leave to measure employees’ efficiency in their annual performance evaluations. This bill as presented to the Governor amends Article 6 of Act No. 180–1998, better known as the “Puerto Rico Minimum Wage, Vacation, and Sick Leave Act,” to include this protection.
