"The Ordinance will take effect immediately upon approval by the City Council, which will likely occur by mid-July.... The Ordinance specifically highlights different reasons for which the earned sick leave may be used, including for the employee's own medical condition or for a covered family member's medical condition. In addition, employees may use earned sick leave if a public health emergency causes an employee's workplace or a child's school or child care provider to close. For an absence of more than three consecutive work days, an employer may require reasonable documentation that the use of earned sick leave was for a reason permitted under the Ordinance."
