I see both sides too, but I believe this is one of the more wise pieces of legislation in a long time. It's purpose is to keep a lid on H1N1 and other public health risks. I too am lucky and have sick pay. </p> FondaHonda on "Proposed law would require pay for sick workers" http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22868#post-468930 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:20:00 +0000 FondaHonda 468930@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>'The emergency law would cover pandemic H1N1 flu or any other infectious disease'</p> <p>I can understand both sides of this issue. On one hand, I'd feel sorry for the small business owner who might already be struggling to pay the one person w/is working. And, I think a lot of workers would take advantage of this. Would it cover a cold, too? But, if there's a requirement that one has a doctor's note, maybe that person doesn't have health insurance and can't afford to go to the doctor? On the other hand, I don't want to be around sick people and I'd love for them to stay home. This includes sick kids who are sent to school just because their parents don't have child care. I can definitely understand the dilemma on this. All I can say is, "Wow!". I'd hate to have to decide on this one. </p> HuddysMama on "Proposed law would require pay for sick workers" http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22868#post-468917 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 09:47:17 +0000 HuddysMama 468917@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I guess I'm luckier than I've thought because my sick time has always been paid. Every since I started working at 16 years old. </p> AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew on "Proposed law would require pay for sick workers" http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22868#post-468908 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 09:11:36 +0000 AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew 468908@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Wonder if it will actually pass. </p> Dee on "Proposed law would require pay for sick workers" http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22868#post-468904 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 08:59:41 +0000 Dee 468904@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p><a href="http://www.reutershealth.com/archive/2009/11/04/eline/links/20091104elin013.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.reutershealth.com/archive/2009/11/04/eline/links/20091104elin013.html</a> </p>
