Ballot Guides Language

Is your organization or group developing a ballot guide for the 2024 Election? We would appreciate your vote FOR 436 to ensure working Nebraskans can earn and use paid sick leave. Please use the following language to describe this ballot initiative.

Short version:
Provides paid sick leave to workers.

Longer version:
The ballot initiative would put into law the ability for employees to earn and use paid sick days without retaliation.

Ballot Language:
Enact a statue which: (1) provides eligible employees the right to earn paid sick time for personal or family health needs; (2) entitles employees of employers with fewer than 20 employees to accrue and use up to 40 hours of such time annually and those employed by employers with 20 or more employees to accrue and use up to 56 hours of such time annually; (3) specifies conditions regarding paid sick time; (4) prohibits retaliation against employees for exercising such rights; (5) adopts documentation requirements; and (6) establishes enforcement powers and civil cause of action for violations.
