“We support paid sick leave to protect the public health, but we also appreciate Assemblywoman Lampitt's and Sen. Weinberg’s recognition that there is a segment of workers who have made the choice to work per-diem, have flexibility and earn a higher hourly wage. Acute care and post-acute healthcare facilities have requirements to ensure appropriate staffing, and these per-diem workers are an important source of staffing when we need to ensure caregivers are at the bedside for our patients and residents.”
