We the people of the United States feel that there should be no retaliation for taking sick time away from work.

There should be a standard federal law protecting all working people from being retaliated against from an employer for being sick, and requesting time off for being sick. A condition that no one can control or foresee. It is also a health risk to force the sick to continue to work regardless of health conditions. We request a minimum of 1 hour accrual for every 30 hours worked from the date of hire. We request no maximum roll over (carry forward) from each year. We request that no doctors note be needed to call out sick unless calling out consecutively for 5 days. This time should be paid for by the employer as long as the time has been accrued. We request that there be no maximum unpaid sick time per year if no paid sick time is accrued. Health and recovery should take priority.
