AN ACT CONCERNING ADVANCE NOTICE OF THE NEED TO USE PAID SICK LEAVE.

SB 222 allows employers to require employees to provide advance notice before using paid sick leave when the need for leave is foreseeable (e.g., for planned medical appointments). It amends existing law to permit this notice requirement, directly affecting employees who schedule predictable sick leave. The bill does not change eligibility or duration of sick leave, only the timing of notice for foreseeable absences. Employers may request this notice but cannot deny leave based on the timing of the request.
