Cline Williams Academy Webinar - The Nebraska Healthy Families and Workplaces Act

The Nebraska Healthy Families and Workplaces Act (the “Act”) requires covered employers in Nebraska to provide paid sick time to employees. This new law takes effect on October 1, 2025, with written notification obligations beginning on September 15, 2025. Join us for this complimentary webinar as we discuss the following key components of the Act:
• Which employers, employees, and industries are covered under the Act.
• Accrual of paid sick time under the Act, including the minimum accrual rate, accrual caps, carryover provisions, and any front-loading alternatives allowed under the Act.
• Using existing paid time off or sick leave to satisfy the Act’s requirements, and the criteria for determining if an existing policy provides equivalent or greater benefits.
• Notification requirements for new and existing employees, including required postings, written notifications upon hire, and language accessibility considerations.
• Tracking and reporting paid sick time, including required records on accrual and usage, record-keeping requirements, and reporting information to covered employees.
• Treatment of paid sick time upon separation from employment, including whether payout is required and what happens upon rehire.
• Administrative enforcement of the Act, including the role of the Nebraska Department of Labor, procedures for filing complaints, penalties for non-compliance, and employer defenses.
