Factsheet: What Paid Sick Leave Is Available to Civilian Workers in the U.S.?
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics [BLS] Link to more items from this source
Mar. 17, 2020

"In March 2019, 76 percent of civilian workers had access to paid sick leave benefits. Employees are considered to have access to paid sick leave plans if it is available for their use. The average cost to employers was $0.42 per employee hour worked in March 2019.... For 68 percent of workers, sick leave plans provide a fixed number of days per year with an average of 8 days available for their use. Three percent of workers have an as-needed sick leave plan; that is, the plan does not specify the maximum number of days. For the remaining 28 percent, their sick leave plan is part of a consolidated leave plan, which provides a single amount of time off for workers to use for multiple purposes such as vacation, illness, or other personal business."
