CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Small Business for Paid Sick Days, a campaign started by businesses and organizations across the commonwealth, is pushing for the Virginia Senate to pass House Bill 2137, which would require employers to provide essential workers with 40 hours of paid sick leave.
“At a very high level, HB 2137 includes a paid sick day standard for essential workers who are working 20 hours a week or more, any business who has that category of employee would be required to off paid sick leave to those employees,” said Audra Grassia of Freedom Virginia and Small Businesses for Paid Sick Days. ....
