The Holidays Increasing Sick Leave Amendment Bill passed 75 to 33 with Labour, and the Greens voting for the bill and ACT and National voting against.
Workplace Relations and Safety Minister Michael Wood said Covid-19 has highlighted the need for people to have adequate sick leave.
"In an era at which we are acutely aware of how communicable diseases can spread, it is surely more important than ever that we move past that old time culture of just toughing it out," he said.
Wood said the bill was about fairness and increasing productivity in the workplace.
