Ever been sick and couldn't make it into work, but had to anyway? Or are you a small business owner just scraping by who is afraid if you can meet the costs of providing sick leave for your workers?

Then you should probably attend today's workshop on the City of Seattle's new paid sick leave ordinance. The workshop will be held at noon in Ballard at the Swedish Medical Center Ballard Campus (2300 Tallman Ave NW).

The new ordinance will take effect Sept. 1. There are a number of ways this will affect businesses, so learn how and prepare.
