NorthJersey has a look at a study on Jersey City's paid sick leave law

Our friends at NorthJersey.com took a look at a Rutgers University study on Jersey City's new paid sick leave law and it's implementation. Here is the definition of the new law up front:

The ordinance, which took effect in January 2014, requires local businesses with 10 or more employees to offer five paid sick days a year. Companies with fewer employees have to give them five unpaid sick days.

The New Jersey Chamber of Commerce, who are usually so hostile to workers gaining any benefit by law, say the study comes far too soon. They also said they didn't trust those performing the study that shows the new law being adapted quickly and well with little acrimony, because it's the Chamber of Commerce who are hostile to anything that doesn't report exactly what they tell it to say.

Tell ya what, you go read the article and then you decide.
