employer can limit the use of that time until 90

days (calendar days) after the start of employment.

be for the employee’s own illness, but also for

purposes of attending routine medical

appointments or taking care of a child or

immediate family member, or taking a child or

immediate family member to routine medical

appointments.

 Employers of any size may not penalize employees

for taking earned time, for complaining that an

employer’s practices violate the earned sick time

law, or for supporting another employee’s exercise

of his or her rights under the earned sick time law.
