D.C. Handbook Update

We have recently updated our Handbook based on an amendment to the Earned Sick and Safe Leave Amendment Act of 2013 which modifies the existing law in a number of significant ways. New eligibility criteria allow employees to accrue and use sick/safe leave earlier in their tenure. The law also extends protections to tipped restaurant staff.

We recommend that clients distribute and that employees acknowledge receipt of the new policy in writing. The acknowledgement should be maintained in the employee’s personnel file.

The new policy may be accessed on FormSource under the New Hire section.

Feel free to contact your Human Resource Business Partner or the Human Resources Solutions Group at 866-400-6011 Option 2 if you have any questions.
