What's with the paid time off regulations in West Hollywood?!
West Hollywood has two types of protected leave, each of which follows its own accrual schedule: Uncompensated Leave (what’s the point?) where you can take unpaid time off without getting fired; Compensated Leave that you can take for whatever reason you damned well please. Compensated Leave (CL) can fall under your combined/vacation policy, but it accrues much faster and has a higher limit than state sick time. Which means that people can accrue up to 4.8 weeks of time off

How do labor posters happen?
Every law tells a story. Something happened to make the legislature need to put a law in writing. This labor poster from Georgia is no exception. And the story it tells is pretty grim.

How do I combine sick and vacation time and still comply with state sick time laws?
I spoke to someone last week who was confused about how to administer her company’s sick leave policy. This HR person (or should I say “truancy officer”?) was essentially blocking people from using their time and then deleting it before they could. That’s not how that works.
