Philadelphia has become the seventeenth city in the United States to require that employers provide paid sick leave to their employees. The law, signed by Mayor Michael Nutter on February 12, 2015, applies to Philadelphia businesses with at least 10 employees. Employers who already provide employees with paid leave that meets the minimum paid sick leave accrual standards and other requirements will not have to change their policies or provide additional leave time. The law goes into effect on May 13, 2015, 90 days after signing.
