[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. Here is the very long document that explains the bill:
http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/council/Resources/Files/agenda/cm/2015/150611/20150611_HHS2.pdf

Here is an article about it: http://www.bethesdamagazine.com/Bethesda-Beat/2015/Montgomery-County-Paid-Sick-Leave-Bill-Clears-Important-Hurdle/

Here is what it says about accrual:
Rate gf Accrual. The earned sick and safe leave provided under
subsection .ill) must accrue at !! rate of at least 1 hour for every 30 hours
an employee works in the County, except an employer must not be
required to allow an employee to:
ill earn more than 56 hours of earned sick and safe leave in !!
calendar year; or
ill use more than 80 hours of earned sick and safe leave in !!
calendar year. [/quote]

Thanks, PP. This bill is worth reading. It will definitely help employees who don't have sick leave now, paid or unpaid. I doubt it will have much of an effect on nannies who already get some kind of paid sick leave.

Interestingly, it could have a negative effect on overall compensation, especially the rollover componant.

From the bill:

[i]This bill requires an employer with more than nine employees to have a sick and safe leave policy under which an employee of the employer earns at least 1 hour of paid sick and safe leave, at the same rate and with the same benefits as the employee normally earns, for every 30 hours an employee works. [b]An employer with nine or fewer employees, based on the average monthly number of employees during the preceding year, must have a sick and safe leave policy that provides an employee with at least 1 hour of unpaid sick and safe leave for every 30 hours an employee works.[/b] An employer is not required to allow an employee to earn or carry over more than 56 hours of earned sick and safe leave in a year or use more than 80 hours of earned sick and safe leave in a year.
[/i]

This would seem to indicate that a nanny employer just has to provide 1 hour of [b]unpaid[/b] sick and safe leave per 30 hours worked.

So, really, any nanny with paid sick time is already doing better than the bill requires.[/quote]
