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.

Mosey Announces Sales Tax Registration Beta

We’re very excited to introduce the Mosey sales tax registration beta! Since we went GA earlier this year (can you believe it’s almost been a year??), startup founders, controllers, and finance teams have been asking us to help them with sales tax. There are three critical parts of sales tax: registration, collection, and reporting—some providers will help with collection and/or reporting, but no sales tax provider wants to touch registration. That leaves a lot of grueling work to get your sales tax accounts set up across all 50 states (and the District of Columbia).
