SICK LEAVE: NOT ON MY TIME!


























I have owned/operated several small businesses in my lifetime.

These little businesses had my blood, sweat and tears poured into them.

Nobody (that's you, 'government') told me how to run my business.

Government interference in my life is not acceptable--in fact, it makes me 'sick', but I have no sick leave.

****Denver Ballot Proposal Would Mandate Sick Leave.

DENVER -- Denver voters could be asked whether to require businesses to give paid sick leave to all employees.

Backers of a ballot proposal to do that say they've got enough signatures to get it on Denver's ballot in November. They plan to turn in the nearly 4,000 petition signatures on Tuesday afternoon.

The proposal would apply to businesses of all sizes. Companies with fewer than 10 employees would have to offer five days of sick leave but larger employers would have to provide nine days. Similar proposals have failed to pass the state Legislature.
