Recent updates to the official District of Columbia Code appear to relieve employers at this time from any obligation to comply with the District’s Sick and Safe Leave Act Amendments Act of 2013 — after many employers in the District of Columbia, particularly those in the hospitality industry, already have made changes to their paid leave policies to comply with the amendments, as a precaution against possible private civil litigation.
