Maryland Passes Paid Sick Leave Law 

Karla Grossenbacher
Partner at Seyfarth Shaw, LLP & VP, Legislative Affairs
 
As the 2018 calendar year (and, by extension, flu season) are now upon us, so too is the
country’s ninth statewide paid sick leave law. On January 12, 2018, the Maryland Senate
voted to override Governor Larry Hogan’s 2017 veto of a paid sick leave bill that was
passed by the Maryland legislature during the 2017 legislative session. The Senate’s
successful vote follows the Maryland House of Delegates’ vote from January 11, 2018 to
override the Governor’s paid sick leave veto. The Maryland paid sick leave law, which is
known as the Healthy Working Families Act ("HWFA" or the "Act") is scheduled to go into
effect on February 11, 2018.

The 2018 Human Resources Trends To Keep
On Your Radar
Josh Millet for Forbes Human Resources Council

In 2017, the human resources industry has done a lot of soul searching about the way
culture and performance issues were handled within companies. In 2018, another big
internal shift is coming, but this time the focus is on technology: how it can be used to
find people, connect people, engage people, even replace people — and what to do when
that happens. For years, technology has acted as a tool to help with day-to-day tasks, but
the focus in 2018 will be technology as a way of life in the workplace.
