WASHINGTON, D.C. — A new bill has been introduced by lawmakers aimed at guaranteeing paid sick leave for workers.
The “Healthy Families Act” would ensure every American worker gets up to seven paid sick days each year. Workers could use these days to recover from their own illness, seek preventive care, care for a sick family member, or attend school meetings related to a child’s health condition or disability.
According to lawmakers, workers without paid sick leave are three times more likely to delay necessary health care for themselves and nearly twice as likely to forgo medical care for their families compared to working adults with paid sick days.
“No one should have to choose between a paycheck and caring for a loved one or themselves. Yet, as the cost of groceries, gas, and housing continues to skyrocket, hardworking Americans are still forced into that impossible position every day,” said Senator Gillibrand.
