Paid Sick Leave Policy
(with Acknowledgment) (CT)

Summary

This template is a paid sick leave policy for Connecticut employers that governs employees' entitlement to sick leave. This template includes practical guidance and drafting notes. It is intended for private employers, and it may be included in an employee handbook, or distributed as a standalone policy. The template's language complies with federal and Connecticut law. Connecticut law requires paid sick leave under certain limited circumstances. This policy is intended to comply with applicable law, but also to provide a paid sick leave for employees who are not necessarily entitled to paid sick leave by applicable law.
