Executive Summary with Rationale and Impact:
Detailed description of the item and why we are doing it. This can be a separate attachment.
Effective January 1, 2021, the Healthy Families and Workplace Act requires all employers with more than 16 employees to provide all employees with a minimum of one (1) hour of paid sick for every 30 hours worked. In general, Denver complies with this law through its current sick and paid time off benefits for full-time and most part-time employees established in Chapter 18, Article V. However, the Healthy Families and Workplace Act requires employers to pay sick leave to all employees, including those currently specifically excluded by the DRMC, such as on-call employees and part-time employees who regularly work fewer than 20 hours per week. This request modifies the DRMC to comply with this new requirement of state law to provide all City employees with a paid sick leave benefit.
