I work for a large company in the US in Oregon, and the labor laws require 1 hour of paid sick time for every 30 hours worked. Apparently the company only just realized this past month that they were underpaying our sick time by nearly half (0.62 hours per week).
The way it was presented in their handout made it seem like a positive change, but I did some digging and that means they've been underpaying oregon employee sick time since 2016 when the law went into effect. That's 7.5 years, and at full time accrual, employees who worked that whole time missed out on almost 277 hours of sick time.
They offered zero retroactive sick time for anyone, and none of my coworkers see how messed up this all is. I guess my question is should I do something about this? Should I contact someone?
