On February 16, 2018, the Austin City Council voted to approve mandatory paid sick leave. The ordinance is pending the mayor’s signature, and will require employers to provide protected time off in line with states like California, Oregon, or recently, Rhode Island—assuming Texas lawmakers do not nip the ordinance in the bud. State Representative Paul Workman and State Senator Donna Campbell have expressed opposition to the ordinance and publicly promised to overturn it. Below, we highlight key provisions from the draft paid sick leave (“PSL”) ordinance.
