Denver workers would receive up to nine days of sick leave each year. Smaller businesses with ten employees or less could cap the benefit at five sick days annually. The initiative is backed by the Campaign for a Healthy Denver, part of Family Values at Work.The ballot initiative is supported by a coalition of over 40 community organizations.
Similar measures recently were signed into law in Connecticut and already exist in cities like Washington D.C. and San Francisco.
