Its going to disadvantage the country how?
What this tells me is that each worker is entitled to a maximum of 6 weeks of paid sick days and the average per employee using sick days is 10 days. What exactly is this supposed to show me? That people arent saying they are sick left and right to just chill at home?
"Employers have little to lose and much to gain from granting paid sick days. A study of Connecticut’s policy mandating five days of sick leave found that full use of this leave would cost an employer only 0.4 percent of their sales revenue on average. Without paid sick days, employees come to work unhealthy, costing employers $160 billion per year due to lower productivity levels."
"Some states and municipalities are seeing the benefits of paid sick days. Across the country, campaigns are underway to make paid sick leave a reality for all Americans. San Francisco, the first locality to guarantee paid sick days, experienced few problems with its policy and its economy grew faster than those of surrounding cities once paid sick days were in place."
"Workers who have paid sick days don’t abuse them. On average, workers who are covered take 3.9 days per year for illness and 1.3 days to care for sick family members, while workers without sick days take an average of 3 days per year."

"Multiple studies have found providing paid sick leave results in higher morale and productivity, less absenteeism, and lower rates of turnover.50 Providing paid sick leave that is available for the care of sick family members has also been shown to result in better employee retention and increased firm profits.51"
