AN ACT DEFINING "DAY" FOR PURPOSES OF THE PAID SICK LEAVE STATUTES.

SB 625 amends Connecticut's paid sick leave law to define "day" as eight hours worked by an employee. This change directly affects workers eligible for paid sick leave under existing statutes by standardizing how time off is calculated. The bill modifies Section 31-57r of the general statutes to ensure consistent application of sick leave accrual and usage based on an eight-hour workday.
