~33 million of our nation’s workers have no paid sick days.

Only in America do we call working people ‘essential’ but deny them paid sick leave.

I wonder how many of the 33mil w/o sick leave also ironically work on Labor Day.

I tried to research the answer and could not find anything specific to Leave Policies. If they fall under OPM policy then 4 hrs each pay period.

I did find this link of Senate Salaries 1789-2022

https://www.senate.gov/senators/SenateSalariesSince1789.htm

and this PDF from 2021 about the total compensation and allowances.

Federal Employees - Sick Leave

Sick leave is a paid absence from duty. A Federal employee is entitled to use sick leave for personal medical needs, family care or bereavement, care of a family member with a serious health condition, or adoption-related purposes.
