On August 3, 2015, less than one month after the introduction of the original bill, the Pittsburgh City Council passed an amended bill requiring virtually all employers within the city to provide paid sick leave. Pittsburgh is the second Pennsylvania city to approve a paid sick leave measure this year, following Philadelphia’s enactment of the Promoting Healthy Families and Workplaces Ordinance in February 2015.1 With the passage of this bill, which Mayor Bill Peduto intends to sign, Pittsburgh will become the 20th major city2 to mandate that the majority of its employers provide paid sick leave to employees, joining California, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Oregon, and a number of major localities.3
