Association of paid sick leave laws with foodborne illness rates
This mixed-methods study examined whether laws requiring employers to provide paid sick leave (PSL) are associated with decreased foodborne illness rates, particularly laws that are more supportive of employees taking leave. The study concluded that although the results suggest an association between more supportive PSL laws and decreased foodborne illness rates, they should be interpreted cautiously because the trend is driven by campylobacteriosis, which has low person-to-person transmission.
