The new law means that even part-time musicians may earn paid sick time.
Under the new sick pay law, workers will be entitled to up to five paid sick days a year, with the right to carry over unused earned sick days. Sick leave will accrue at the rate of one hour per every 30 hours worked, so even part-time employees will be entitled to sick leave.
Accrual commences upon employment, but sick leave cannot be utilized until 120 days after employment began.
