HR 7531

The Healthy Families Act would allow American workers to earn paid sick time, enabling them to address their own health needs and the health needs of their families. This legislation would require employers to provide employees with at least one hour of paid sick time for every 30 hours worked, with some exceptions for certain exempt employees. It also establishes guidelines for earning, using, and carrying over paid sick time, and includes protections against employer interference with an employee’s right to use this time. The bill aims to improve worker health and well-being by providing access to paid leave.
