Paid Medical Leave Act Poster
A new Paid Medical Leave Act Post details all changes to the Paid Medical Leave Act. The Paid Medical Leave Act (PMLA), formerly known as the “Earned Sick Time Act,” requires employers to pay eligible employees for earned medical leave time, which can be used for personal or family health needs. This new poster has added information about eligible employees, accrual time, mandatory paid time, sick leave coverage, carryover hours, and requesting leave.

All employers are required to provide this notice to employees by law and failure to do so could result in fines.
