Some people love to follow the rules–others live to break them. Many founders and business owners fall at least partially into this second category. After all, innovation requires questioning the status quo.
But one area where it’s wisest not to break rules is the law. Employment and tax laws apply to even the earliest stage, most disruptive founders, and not complying comes with penalties and fines. That means when it comes to business compliance, you need to become a certified box-checker.
Paid sick leave (PSL) is time off that allows employees to recover from short-term illnesses or attend medical appointments without losing their regular wages.
Unlike unpaid leave, which is federally mandated under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), PSL is employer-funded. Generally, employees accrue this type of leave based on hours worked.
For instance, you could earn one hour of PSL for every 30 hours you work, up to a set limit, such as seven days per year.
The decision to hire remote workers can transform your business. You’ll have access to a national (or even global) talent pool, save on overhead costs, and provide a valuable incentive to join your team: According to a 2022 Future Forum study, 80% of knowledge workers desire a flexible work location. Remote work can also increase employee satisfaction and productivity, improve work-life balance, and even support diversity and inclusion—employees who lack transportation, can’t afford to live near the office, or even need to pick up the kids every day at noon won’t necessarily be precluded from full participation.
