“…While studying an entire region, Stearns and White, observed decreased absence among categories of workers entitled to receive PSL via a state mandate; this investigation also found an 18% decrease in overall absence among all workers in the state, even those not directly covered by the law, suggesting the benefits of PSL may extend beyond the covered workers 31 . Two other studies did not find a significant association between PSL and worker absence 27,34 …”

“…Findings on absence from work were mixed, with four reporting mixed results within the same study 22,31,36,49 . Ten studies investigating absence from work found that PSL increased worker absence, 22,23,29,31–33,36,37,49,53 one reported fewer overall absences in the workplace, 12 and seven did not establish a significant relationship between PSL and worker absence 22,27,31,34,36,45,49 …”

Vigorous legislative activity both for and against paid sick leave has occurred over the last decade. Although a compelling body of evidence suggests that paid sick leave supports personal and public health goals, a notable barrier in opposition to paid sick leave is apprehension about the potential short‐term and long‐term harms to business. This review critically assesses the relationship between paid sick leave and favorable or unfavorable business conditions. Utilizing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we systematically review six research databases between 2000 and November 2022. Of 2664 studies identified, 123 were considered potentially relevant and 43 were included in the review. In addition to absence from work, paid sick leave was associated with favorable business conditions such as increased job satisfaction; improved retention; and reductions in occupational injury, contagion, presenteeism, and death; as well as some measures of firm performance and labor market conditions. Overall, our review discovered more evidence supporting the relationship between paid sick leave and favorable business conditions as compared with evidence that supported unfavorable business conditions. Although more research is needed, these findings can be used to inform firm‐level and public policy decisions about paid sick leave.

Objective To estimate the association between productivity losses and the use of prescription opioids and benzodiazepines among employed US adults with painful conditions. Methods Using Medical Expenditures Panel Survey (2010-2019), we employed two-part (logistic regression and generalized linear model with zero-truncated negative binomial link) model to compare missed workdays due to illness or injury among employed adults with a painful condition. Results Of the eligible sample of 57,413 working US individuals, 14.65% were prescription opioid users, 2.95% were benzodiazepine users, and 1.59% were both opioid and benzodiazepine users. The predicted missed workdays were 5.75 (95%CL:5.58-5.92) days for benzodiazepine users, 13.06 (95%CL:12.88-13.23) days among opioid users, and 15.18 (95%CL:14.46-15.90) days for opioid and benzodiazepine concomitant users. Conclusions Concomitant use of prescription opioids and benzodiazepines was significantly associated with having more missed workdays among employed adults with documented painful conditions.
