On September 17, 2020, Philadelphia passed the  Public Health Emergency Leave Bill, which broadens the scope of Philadelphia’s Promoting Healthy Families and Workplaces sick leave law by providing paid “public health emergency leave” to individuals who work within the geographic boundaries of Philadelphia, including individuals working for companies with 500 or more employees. The bill is intended to expand paid sick leave benefits to individuals who are not otherwise covered by the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA).
