We previously wrote about a new Bill in New York City that would
require employers to provide up to five days of paid sick leave
(forty hours) per year to its employees. The New York City Council
passed the legislation on May 8, 2013 by a 45-3 vote. However,
Mayor Michael Bloomberg recently vetoed this proposed legislation,
stating that requiring New York employers to provide paid sick
leave could have a negative impact on other benefits and chill
hiring. The New York City Council is not giving up on its proposed
legislation. It intends to override May Bloomberg's veto.
