Paid Sick Days: Healthier Workers, Healthier Families

PSN on November 16, 2009 - 12:24pm

As part of our multi-state shared agenda, the Progressive States Network is working with its partners and leading experts to promote paid sick days reforms in states across the country. These reforms will allow parents to take care of sick children and workers to be more productive, while protecting the overall public health and preventing transmission of diseases within the workplace. Fully 86% of the public in polling by the Public Welfare Foundation in 2008 supported enacting laws that guarantee paid sick days for all workers

Written in 2006 by Vicky Lovell for the Institute for Women's Policy Research

Lovell’s issue brief explains how providing paid sick days promotes a healthier, more productive workforce and reduces the spread of disease in the workplace. Inversely, workers who must go to work sick because they lack paid sick days may infect coworkers and customers, increasing work absence and health care spending.

Written in 2007, Jodie Levin-Epstein, Center for Law and Social Policy, Washington, DC.
