With Paid Sick Leave coming to Connecticut on January 1, 2025, the CTDOL (and, ahem, some lawyers) have been fielding lots of questions from employers and employees about the new law.

With the election over, employers in Connecticut now have to sort out what type of changes can be expected in a new Trump administration.
