New York City to join other cities with paid sick leave?
Just last week, the New York City Council reached a deal with employee rights activists which could require private employers in the city with 15 or more employees to provide up to five paid sick days per year to eligible employees.

If the proposal is approved, the Big Apple will join Portland, Oregon in the growing list of cities to recently adopt paid sick leave measures.
