Consider writing about:
A proposed measure that would allow employees in New York City to use sick leave to care for a companion animal or service animal; how the proposal would work, in terms of type of qualified sick leave (paid or unpaid), amount of leave that could be taken, advance notice, proof of need, employer size, etc.; whether this pet proposal breaks new ground locally or nationally; the measure’s prospects for passage by the city council; whether similar measures are being considered in other jurisdictions; what the New York City measure may indicate, more generally speaking, regarding evolving expectations and obligations involving employees’ right to time off (paid or unpaid), and how employers are (or should be) adapting to those changes.
