NYC Paid Sick Leave Passes Council by Veto-Proof Majority
This article is for subscribers only.
The New York City Council voted to require employers with 20 or more workers to provide paid sick days, a measure Mayor Michael Bloomberg has promised to veto.
The 45-3 vote yesterday was more than the two-thirds majority needed to override a veto. The step, set to take effect April 1, 2014, will expand its reach to businesses with 15 or more employees a year later. It will also require all employers in the city to provide unpaid sick leave starting in 2014.
