Protections and Attendance

The PSL law contains strong protections for employees.¹ You cannot:

• Deny employees the right to use accrued paid sick days.
• Take any action against an employee for using accrued sick days or attempting to exercise the right to use accrued sick days. Prohibited actions include discharge, threat of discharge, demotion, suspension or any manner of discrimination.
• Retaliate against employees who file complaints alleging violations of the law, or who cooperate in an investigation or prosecution of an alleged violation or oppose any policy, practice or act prohibited by this law.
