What is the wage replacement rate of paid sick leave in week 2 for workers with 6 months tenure?

Adequate wage replacement rates determine whether workers can afford to take paid leave.

Wage replacement rate is calculated taking into account any unpaid waiting periods, expiration of benefits, or changes in benefit levels. Calculations are based on a five-day workweek unless legislation suggests a six day work week or calendar days.

When it varies, wage replacement rate is calculated based on how long a worker has been working with their employer. Contribution requirements that require a minimum number of contributions while employed within a specific time period prior to being eligible for social security-based leave are also included.

Flat rate benefit means that all workers receive the same payment, regardless of their usual wages or salary.

Varies by worker type means that length of paid sick leave benefits varies based on how the worker is classified, such as whether the worker is paid hourly, a salaried employee, or a supervisor.
