temporary employees. Unlike many other employment

laws, including the FMLA, this really means all

employers- big or small- and all employees-part time, full

time or temporary.

The basics are as follows:

 All employees earn an hour of sick time for each

30 hours worked, beginning on the first day of

employment, up to 40 hours in a year.

 Employers with 11 or more employees (note that

this means actual people, whether full time, part

time, or temporary) must pay the employees for

earned sick time that they use, at their regular

hourly rate. Smaller employers still must provide

the time, but making it paid time is optional.
