2026 DMEC Compliance Conference: Emerging Trends in Paid Sick Leave

With over 45 locations across the United States now requiring employers to provide some form of Paid Sick Leave (PSL), we will focus on highlighting key trends we are seeing in emerging and updated PSL regulations. Employers must be aware of where employees are actually performing their work, and ensuring their PSL policies are compliant with specific state/local requirements. We also explore options for employers that utilize a Paid Time Off (PTO) policy to comply with PSL requirements. In either situation, we are seeing cities, counties, and states that are becoming more and more employee-friendly by requiring PSL for more covered leave reasons, allowing absences to care for more family members, and requiring employers to provide more accrued paid time off than ever before. This session aims to equip employers with the knowledge needed to navigate this evolving landscape effectively.
