Join Family Values @ Work and the WORLD Policy Analysis Center, for a discussion of their recently released report and chart looking at access to paid sick and safe days. While current federal law sets a standard for some workers to have unpaid leave for serious illness and injury, there is no guaranteed access to time off from work for short-term needs - either paid or unpaid. However, nearly 22 million workers have access to paid sick and safe days through laws passed at the city, county, and state level.
This virtual event will feature WorkRise-funded research, Economic Impact of Equity Provisions in Earned Safe and Sick Day Policies, and will discuss findings from the report, including which cities and states offer equitable coverage and where there is room for improvement.
Speakers:
- Marianne Bellesorte, Director of Programs and Advocacy, Family Values @ Work
- Jenya Cassidy, Director, California Work and Family Coalition
- Alison Earle, Senior Work-Family Policy Research Analyst, WORLD Policy Analysis Center
- Nicole Sanclemente, Policy Director, She Leads Justice
