Private-sector employers with fewer than 500 employees, government employers, and all other non-private entity employers with more than one employee are required to provide their employees with paid sick leave. The bill entitles employees of covered employers to paid sick leave regardless of how long the employee has worked for the employer. The legislation further gives the Secretary of Labor the authority to exempt small businesses with fewer than 50 employees from the bill's paid leave requirements if those requirements would jeopardize the viability of the business. According to the Family First Act, this includes any person acting directly or indirectly in the interest of an employer in relation to an employee. Based on that information, in our opinion, provider owners would count in the headcount.
