Judging by the rush of calls and e-mails the last few weeks, many employers are finally understanding the scope of the state’s revised Paid Sick Leave law. But before you go off and go skiing (and find yourself face to face with a dog as I did a few years back), there’s still work to
Election Day is nearly upon us.
And with early voting in Connecticut, more people have already voted than you might think.
Still, on Tuesday our fellow citizens will take to the polls from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. to vote for their favorite candidate.
Here in Connecticut, the question that arises is: Do employers need
Connecticut’s updated Paid Sick Leave becomes effective January 1, 2025 and now is the time for most employers to update their policies and procedures. I’ve previously written about it here so I thought for this article, I’d focus on the key aspects of what employers need to know right now.

If you’ve been reading this blog long enough, you know that the budget implementer bill in the state legislature always contains more than just budget items. It’s a “must-pass” bill that normally has items that, for one reason or another, didn’t pass during the regular session but that are important to various legislators.

Last month, our webinar on vaccines was really very popular. Given the breadth of the topic, we didn’t get a chance to answer all the questions that people had. In addition, since that initial program, Connecticut has modified its vaccination eligibility rules meaning employers that thought that they would have some time to think
