Quinn: City Council reaches deal on required paid sick leave
BY HEATHER J. CHIN AND TERENCE M. CULLEN
Small businesses with 15 or more employees and 20 or more employees will soon be mandated to provide five paid sick days, after a compromise on the much-debated legislation was struck last night, March 28.
The bill is expected to pass in City Council with enough support to override a threatened veto by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has opposed the Paid Sick Leave bill for the last three years.
