MYTH VS. FACT

Over the next few weeks, Virginia’s business owners are debunking the myths that pop up about what paid sick days mean for small business.

MYTH: Employees are going to take advantage of paid time off and take it all at once.

FACT: Business owners overwhelmingly say that employees rarely end up using all of their time and they see no trends of abuse.

MYTH: It’s complicated and difficult to manage paid time off for employees.

FACT: Once you declare the paid time off rule (i.e. accrue 1 hour per 30 hours) then your time management/payroll system provides the tracking for you.
