    This session will provide an in-depth look into CT’s new Paid Sick Leave Law coming into effect as of January 1, 2025, and explore what employers can expect in the coming years. This law will significantly expand the state’s current paid sick leave, and it’s important that CT employers are aware of these changes.

    CT Department of Labor’s Legal Director, Heidi Lane, will lead a discussion on CT’s new Paid Sick Leave Law, as well as answer questions throughout the presentation.

    Topics include:
    • Who is a covered employer on January 1, 2025, and who will be a covered employer in the coming years?
    • Are any employers exempt?
    • What employees are covered and are there any exempt employees?
    • Which employees are considered “seasonal”?
    • What are the reasons for which paid sick leave may be taken?
    • Who is a family member?
    • How is sick leave accrued?
    • How much paid sick leave may be accrued in a year?
    • What are the notice requirements for both the employer and the employee?
    • What documentation may the employer require?
