Milwaukee Becomes Third Municipality to Require Mandatory Paid Sick Leave for Employees
The Law Firm of Jackson Lewis has reported that Milwaukee has become the third municipality to require paid sick leave for employees. As the article states:
Voters in the City of Milwaukee overwhelmingly approved a referendum requiring private employers in the City to provide up to nine days of paid sick leave for their employees. This makes Milwaukee the third municipality in the country to require paid sick time for workers. Milwaukee is the most generous of the three, providing for up to nine paid days per year, while San Francisco and Washington, D.C., allow up to seven paid days per year.

The local chamber of commerce is challenging the ordinance and seeking an injunction during the legal challenge. The court has set a 1/29 hearing on the injunction request. Stay tuned.
