Get the Facts: Nebraska's paid sick leave ballot initiative

If Nebraska voters pass Initiative 436, employees would have the right to legally earn paid sick time off.

Up to seven days per year if you work at a company with 20 or more employees. Or up to 5 days off per year if you work somewhere smaller, like Nodest.

Jodi Lepaopao, with Nebraska Appleseed, is the campaign manager for Initiative 436.

She says there's a misconception about who gets that time and how fast.

"It’s not just handing someone the paid sick days to someone as soon as they come on," Lepaopao said.
