Council introduces ordinance to change paid sick-leave accrual rates
Summary
Council President Lavelle introduced Ordinance 17-36 to change accrual rates and increase the maximum total of paid sick leave under the city's Paid Sick Days Act; the measure was presented to committee for further review.
Council President Lavelle presented ordinance 17-36 on April 15, which would amend the Pittsburgh Code, Title 6 (Conduct), chapter 6-26 (Paid Sick Days Act), to change the rate at which employees can accumulate paid sick-leave hours and increase the maximum total hours that may be carried.
The ordinance was introduced and read into the record by council staff; it was presented to the council for committee consideration and did not receive final action during the April 15 meeting. Council announced an executive-session briefing later in the afternoon regarding unrelated litigation matters and scheduled committee consideration of other items for April 16.
The ordinance text was read as an introduction; the transcript does not record floor debate on the measure, nor does it record a motion for final passage. Details about the precise new accrual rate and the revised maximum total were not specified during the reading in the transcript and are therefore "not specified" in this report. Further detail and committee discussion are expected at standing committee meetings.
