I think the 2 weeks sick time and unlimited unpaid sick time off were still in effect, not to mention a full day off probably isn't required.

Not to say these policies are grand or the working conditions are anywhere near reasonable just that the claim from the lawsuit it was a disability violation seems like it will be difficult to argue vs just being a shitty place to work.

My current job, I started with 0 hrs sick time and accumulate 1.67hrs per pay period (2x/mo). I’m fortunate that I work in a cool place and they would have fronted me the day off if I needed it.
