[WATCH] HR Hotline Live: Paid Sick Leave Update

Connecticut’s expanded paid sick leave law has brought confusion and frustration to many employers.

Whether you’ve already attended training on the new law, or are just beginning, this HR Hotline Live webinar will clear up the confusion, simplify the issues, and outline exactly what you need to know for compliance. 

As a follow-up to our September HR Hotline Live, we explain recent clarifications from Connecticut’s Department of Labor, provide the most up-to-date information, and address your concerns. 

Effective Jan. 1, 2025, almost all businesses with 25 or more employees must comply with Connecticut’s expanded paid leave mandate. This significant change now includes non-service and manufacturing workers.

CBIA HR counsel Diane Mokriski and Carmody Torrance attorneys Vincent Farisello and Nick Zaino share invaluable insights and practical guidance for complying with the new law.
