Eliminates the separate category for employers with 100 or more employees and consolidates requirements so employers with 11 or more employees must provide at least five days of paid sick leave for quarantined or isolated employees due to COVID-19.

Small employers with 10 or fewer employees and net income exceeding $1 million must provide at least five days of paid sick leave, while smaller employers with net income of $1 million or less provide only unpaid leave.

Reduces paid sick leave requirement for public employers from 14 days to five days during mandatory or precautionary quarantine or isolation orders.

Requires the Commissioner of Labor, in consultation with the Commissioner of Health, to submit a report by April 1, 2024, detailing the number of employees who received unpaid or paid sick leave or disability benefits under this law.

Establishes an expiration mechanism: if the legislature does not adopt a resolution within 60 days of receiving the report affirming the continued need for these benefits, the law expires and is repealed.
