Philadelphia - A task force convened by the mayor of Philadelphia has issued a report calling for mandatory paid sick leave for workers. The report recommends a policy that would require employers with at least 15 employees to provide paid sick time to eligible employees, who would accrue one hour of sick time for every 40 hours worked. If implemented, the policy could improve health and safety for about 200,000 employees - or 35 percent of the city's workforce - who currently lack access to paid sick time, the report states.
