Healthy Families Act


The Healthy Families Act was introduced into the House and Senate. It makes employers with over 15 employees to earn up to 56 hours of paid sick time starting after 60 days of employment. The hours could be used for yourself or a child, spouse or parent.

I agree with SHRM, Society of Human Resource Management, I feel the theory is good, but mandating any insurance or benefit, runs the risk to the employee. Some companies who can not afford all the benefits will rob Peter to pay Paul. I see the need, but do we need mandates on every issue?
