Do Part-Time and Seasonal Employees Get Paid Sick Leave?
Across mandate states, part-time and seasonal employees generally accrue sick leave on the same hours-worked basis as full-time staff. The accrual ratio (1 per 30/40/52 hours) naturally scales to their hours.
Frontloading can disadvantage part-time/seasonal workers, which is why accrual is often preferred for them.
