In 2018, NJ workers won the right to guaranteed paid sick days when we passed the Earned Sick and Safe Leave law, which gives workers the right to earn 40 hours or 5 days of paid sick time a year. However, many workers, including BIPOC workers, service workers, lower-wage and hourly workers, and LGBTQ+ workers lack access to paid sick leave. This leaves them to choose between making a living and caring for themselves or a loved one.
Together, we can help increase awareness and access to Earned Sick Days for all. Join us for a virtual convening on December 7, 2022, to discuss what the law provides, and what research shows is really happening on the ground. We will hear from invited guests from the Department of Labor, researchers, and advocates, to dig deeper into this topic. Line-up of confirmed speakers coming soon!
