A statewide ballot initiative got underway Tuesday that would require employers to provide paid sick leave. Temporary, part-time and full-time workers would earn an hour of sick time for every 30 hours worked.
Aaron Sanderford’s story at the Nebraska Examiner explains businesses with fewer than 20 employees would be required to provide full-time employees with a minimum of five paid sick days per year. Larger businesses would have to provide at least seven.
