MHLA Legislative Alert: Paid Sick Leave likely to take effect this Sunday

We are advising MHLA members to prepare for the paid sick leave law scheduled to take effect this Sunday, February 11, 2018. Legislation to delay implementation until July 1, 2018 looks unlikely to pass in the House of Delegates. If this changes over the weekend, we will send another email letting you know.

Employers can also contact the Office of Small Business Regulatory Assistance, newly created within the Labor Department to assist small businesses in complying with the law.  Specific questions may be sent via email to Small.Business@Maryland.gov.
