What A 9403 does, verified January 9, 2026
The proposed legislation aims to provide an exception to an employer's obligation to provide paid sick leave for certain businesses. This exception applies to employers that are required by contract to provide services to another entity, with employees working at the other entity's facilities for the entire daily work period. These employers are not required to provide paid sick leave, but must still provide unpaid sick leave as required by the law. The exception does not limit the amount of unpaid sick leave the employer is required to provide. The legislation takes effect on the 90th day after it becomes a law, and allows for the implementation of necessary rules and regulations on its effective date.
