There is a measure going before Maryland legislators which aims to improve the state’s Equal Pay for Equal Work Act. Supporters of the measure are scheduled to speak at a news conference this Wednesday specifying further details. A bill supporters will be discussing allows employees to earn 1 hour of paid sick leave per every 30 hours worked. Another bill includes a state insurance program which would provide employees with up to 12-weeks of partial wage replacement while they take time away from work for health conditions like pregnancy.
