"Under current law, employees accrue one hour of sick leave for every 40 hours worked during a calendar year. Under the amended law, employers will not be restricted to using the calendar year for accrual purposes.... This change will allow employers to start the paid sick leave benefit year on any date (such as on the employee's anniversary date or the beginning of the employer's fiscal year), and to align the accrual period for paid sick leave with other paid time off policies and timekeeping systems."
