Important News for Nebraska Businesses

Starting October 1, 2025, the Nebraska Healthy Families and Workplace Act will bring transformative changes to employee sick leave policies. This groundbreaking legislation ensures that all businesses with 11 or more employees provide paid sick leave.

Key Highlights:
· Paid Sick Leave: Employees will accrue paid sick leave at a rate of 1 hour for every 30 hours worked, with small businesses providing up to 40 hours per year and larger businesses up to 56 hours.
· Eligibility for All: Full-time, part-time, and temporary employees working at least 80 hours a year are eligible.
· Carryover Benefits: Unused sick leave can be carried over to the next year. The company will be responsible for tracking this carryover.
· Employer Responsibilities: Written notice must be provided to employees by September 15, 2025, and prominently displayed in the workplace. Click here to download and print the official notice.

Action Steps:
· Review Current Policies: Evaluate existing sick leave or paid time off (PTO) policies to ensure alignment with the new requirements.
· Update Employee Handbook: Make necessary updates and communicate changes to staff.
· Provide Notice: Prepare and distribute the required notice to all employees by the specified deadline.
· Train Management: Ensure HR staff and management are aware of the new requirements and prepared to implement them.

By taking these steps, you can ensure that your business remains compliant with the new law and continues to support the health and well-being of your employees.
