What Is Paid Sick Leave: PSL Explained

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. This means if employees become ill, they don’t have to choose between their paycheck and getting well.
