United States:
As Expected, New York City Council Expands Paid Sick Leave Law On The Eve of Implementation

Not surprisingly, the New York City Council last Wednesday
overwhelmingly passed Mayor Bill de Blasio's sweeping amendment
to the New York City Earned Sick Time Act. Most notably, the
amendment expands the Act's coverage to organizations with 5 or
more employees (reduced from the prior 15-employee threshold). The
amendment takes effect almost immediately, on April 1,
2014—departing from the staggered implementation scheme
contemplated by the Bloomberg-era version of the Act. See our
February 3, 2014 post for more specific details about the
amendment's provisions.
