[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bill passed. Washington post says it is 32 hrs paid and 24 hours unpaid for employers with 5 or less employees. [/quote]

So 4 paid 8 hours days, and 3 unpaid, that's quite reasonable.  And personally, I don't see why it should impact PTO or vacation.  I don't usually get sick, all of my medical appointments are scheduled for PTO days, and I have two weeks of vacation.  Yes, one week is supposedly my choice, but I almost always let the family know 6 months ahead, and they schedule their vacation for that week, so nbd, they don't need back-up.  Those sick days with 3-5 PTO and two weeks vacation seem reasonable to me.[/quote]

Yes, I think it's reasonable also.  Our nanny works a 50 hour week - so 32 hours paid and 24 hrs unpaid is 56 hours, really only an additional half day of unpaid leave beyond what we already give as paid sick leave (5 days annually).

Seems fair and decent to me, and the small business exemption makes it manageable for an employer like me.  Probably really tough for a small business owner with a half dozen employees though...[/quote]

I will change my leave policy, because right now she gets 12 days, all her choice, which are to include sick days, plus the weeks we are off. I will change it to eight days "open" PTO and 4 days paid "sick leave." All leave rolls over.[/quote]
