Season 3, Episode 1: CT Paid Sick Leave

Big changes are coming for Connecticut employers in 2025! In the first episode of: From Lawyer to Employer, Season 3, join host Dan Schwartz and guest Peter Murphy as they dive into the Connecticut Paid Sick Leave law and what it means for employers in our state starting January 1, 2025. Employers of all sizes need to take note—as this law introduces major shifts, including:

• Lowering the employee threshold from 50 to 25 employees in 2025, and eventually covering all employers by 2027.
• Broadening coverage to include ALL employees, not just service workers.
• New accrual rates: 1 hour of paid leave for every 30 hours worked.
• Mental health days and a wider range of acceptable leave purposes.

What does this mean for you? Employers must adapt their policies, notify employees, and implement systems to track leave effectively.
