Are your employees entitled to paid sick leave under the Connecticut mandate that takes effect January 1, 2012? Does the law apply to employees who work or live in other states? Can you still discipline employees for abusing sick leave? How can you avoid liability for retaliation? How can you be sure your own sick leave policy and accrual methods will satisfy the new law? What changes and employee communications must you make before January 1?

Join us on October 6 for answers to these and other questions. Over breakfast we will discuss the basics of the paid sick leave act, share real scenarios and offer sensible strategies to help you master this new law and avoid adverse impact on your business. Topics will include:

  • Which employers and employees are covered by the paid sick leave act, as well as exceptions to the law
  • Sick leave accrual, covered events and eligibility
  • Practical advice about managing sick leave, requesting documentation, and updating employee handbooks and manuals
  • Managing attendance without exposure to retaliation claims
  • CT DOL’s likely interpretation of the paid sick leave law
  • Potential legislative action regarding paid sick leave in the future

Speakers will include shareholder George E. O’Brien and associate Jason R. Stanevich from Littler’s
New Haven office.
