The matter of requiring paid sick days is being considered in NYC, but
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn is blocking the measure as being too
expensive for small business.
Since when did that matter in NY ? The Speaker's position is laudable
and partly makes up for her craven decision to hop on the wrong side of the
Chick-fil-A nonsense.
Many firms are opting for a set number of paid days off in a year and
not calling them "sick days".
These days its commonplace to "call in sick" when what you really
mean to say is , "I want to go to the beach."
The challenge with any of this is that employers certainly want to
help good workers and roll with the punches if there is a health problem.
However, institutionalizing paid sick days in law will only lead to a
reduction in other types of paid days off.
The dilemma is that those who make the laws come from an environment
with umpteen holidays, personal days, bereavement days, my best friends cat
died and I have to be there for her days, along with vacations in the five
to six week range.
New York businesses need prosperity, not mandates. |
