CT SB01007

Changes employer threshold from "fifty or more individuals in any one quarter in the previous year" to employers with fifty or more employees based on payroll for the week containing October 1, annually, effective October 1, 2013.

Modifies paid sick leave accrual to be calculated based on "weekly scheduled hours worked" rather than total hours, with a maximum of 40 hours per year and no more than five scheduled work days per year.

Adds definition of "Year" as any 365-day period used by an employer to calculate employee benefits, replacing references to "calendar year" throughout the statute.

Requires employers to pay for paid sick leave at the greater of either the service worker's normal hourly wage or the minimum fair wage rate in effect during the pay period when leave is used.

Allows service workers to use accrued paid sick leave in one-hour increments, except employers may require full-shift usage for intermittent or reduced leave schedules when reasonably necessary.
