Paid sick time to be expanded for Connecticut workers
HARTFORD, Conn. (WFSB)—Governor Ned Lamont will sign a bill on Tuesday requiring businesses to provide employees with expanded paid sick time.
Under this new legislation, workers in Connecticut will be entitled to five paid sick days.
Lieutenant Governor Susan Bysiewicz and Senate President Pro Tempore Martin Looney will join Governor Lamont at 11 a.m. at the Narrative Project on Temple Street to discuss Public Act 24-8.
Previously, only employers with 50 or more employees were required to offer paid sick days, but the new law expands these protections to cover more categories of workers. Some Republicans have expressed concerns that the changes may negatively impact businesses.
The changes do not apply to seasonal employees or those with union benefits.
The bill signing ceremony will be held at 11 a.m. at the Narrative Project on Temple Street in New Haven.
