Effort to Add Paid Sick Days Has Been Narrowed, More Debate Potentially on the Horizon


Michael Pope reports.
Home health care workers deserve five paid sick days a year. That's the new requirement in a bill now under consideration by the Senate.
Delegate Elizabeth Guzman, a Democrat from Prince William County, initially introduced a bill that would have required paid sick days for essential workers, but senators narrowed it considerably so now it applies only to this one kind of worker.
Republican Senator Mark Obenshain of Harrisonburg asked Delegate Guzman what would happen if the governor amends her bill to expand it beyond home healthcare workers.
"Without me looking at what the governor wants to do, I cannot say what I will do,” Guzman said.
