Stay Compliant with Our Semi-Annual Paid Sick Leave Ordinance Update

Paid sick leave laws are evolving rapidly across the U.S., and staying compliant has never been more complex—especially for businesses operating in multiple locations. As federal responses to the pandemic left significant gaps, many state and local governments stepped in with their own legislation. While these laws offer valuable protections for workers, they create significant challenges for employers trying to keep up.

Each law varies in terms of:

• Who is covered

• Acceptable reasons for leave

• Accrual rates and caps

• Waiting periods before use

• Employer responsibilities

To complicate matters further, local jurisdictions often layer on their own ordinances—sometimes more generous than state laws or enacted where no statewide policy exists. The result? A patchwork of regulations that is time-consuming and difficult to navigate.

At ClearPath, we help employers manage these complexities. Our Paid Sick Leave Cheat Sheet is a free resource designed to reduce confusion and ease compliance. It includes:
