Nebraskans spoke on Paid Sick Leave - with almost 75% voting in support.
This year, the legislature voted for LB415, which harms workers by severely weakening Nebraska’s paid sick leave law. This bill exempts several groups of workers from receiving earned sick leave, including seasonal and temporary agricultural workers, and workers under the age of 16. It also exempts businesses with 10 or fewer employees from providing paid sick leave. This bill also removes important protections for workers who face retaliation from their employers for using paid sick leave.
