Proposed law would require pay for sick workers | Health | Reuters:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. employers who tell workers to stay home when they are sick will have to give them paid time off for up to five days under new federal legislation proposed on Tuesday.

The emergency law would cover pandemic H1N1 flu or any other infectious disease, said California Representative George Miller, a Democrat who chairs the House Education and Labor Committee and who introduced the bill.

'Sick workers advised to stay home by their employers shouldn't have to choose between their livelihood, and their co-workers' or customers' health,' Miller said."
