Sick time in Florida
Does an employer have to pay an hourly employee for all accrued sick time. Our company doesn’t have a handbook anymore and we have been told that it is being re-written.
There is no Florida law that an employer must pay workers for accrued sick time upon termination.
Normally, the old handbook remains in effect until a new handbook is issued.
If you as an employer have a history of paying sick time to terminated workers, then to avoid charges of discrimination, you should continue until a new employee handbook is printed.
