Federal Contractors Will Have To Provide Paid Sick Time

Francine Esposito and Arielle Sepulveda wrote an article, “Federal Contractors Will Have To Provide Paid Sick Time,” for Pratt’s Government Contracting Law. The article explains the policies federal contractors and subcontractors need to have in place by January 1, 2017 to meet the requirements of a recent Executive Order signed by President Barack Obama for paid sick time.  Specifically, federal contractors and subcontractors must allow their employees to earn at least seven days of paid sick time each year if they do not already have policies in place that provide the same amount.
