Study Says Sick Day Mandate Would Cost Ohio 75,000 Jobs
By EmploymentCrossing.com
A new study shows Ohio could lose up to 75,000 jobs over the next five years if voters approve a ballot issue that would give most full-time workers seven paid sick days a year. The sick day mandate is part of the new Healthy Families Act.
The study was released by the National Federation of Independent Business in Ohio. According to the group, nearly 20% of the job losses would be in businesses that employ one to 20 employees, even though they wouldn’t be required to offer the sick days. They say the proposal would actually force larger businesses to lay off workers, which would in turn affect small business suppliers.
Organized labor advocates, who are strong supporters of the new policy, are trying to get enough signatures to put the issue on the ballot. Opponents of the proposal have been trying to reach a compromise that would keep the plan off the ballot, but so far they’ve been unsuccessful.
Most large businesses in Ohio say they offer their employees paid vacation time along with childbirth and bereavement leave, but no paid sick time. Employers say that would be cost prohibitive.
Supporters of the plan say nearly two million Ohio workers don’t get paid time off when they or their family members are sick.
In addition to the job loss, the plan could cost employers up to $1.7 billion in added bookkeeping and management costs.
Testimonial of the Week
What I liked about the service is that it had such a comprehensive collection of jobs! I was using a number of sites previously and this took up so much time, but in joining EmploymentCrossing, I was able to stop going from site to site and was able to find everything I needed on EmploymentCrossing.
