VA’s Paid Sick Leave Bill

VA House Passes Paid Sick Leave Bill

Virginia’s House of Delegates approved a bill (HB 5) that would expand the state’s current paid sick leave law, which applies only to a small segment of workers, to include all public and private sector employees. If enacted, workers could earn an hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work. (VIRGINIA MERCURY, LEXISNEXIS STATE NET)
