Allows Americans to earn paid sick time for their own health needs and those of their families.

The Healthy Families Act mandates that employers provide employees with earned paid sick time. Employers must offer at least one hour of paid sick time for every 30 hours worked, up to a maximum of 56 hours per year, unless the employer sets a higher limit. Employees can use this time for their own health needs, to care for family members, or to address issues related to domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Employers can require certification for periods of more than three consecutive workdays.
