In this Wednesday, Sept. 28, 2016, photo, Olivia Colt, owner of catering company Salt & Honey, center, poses for photos as members of her cooking staff work in the kitchen in Berkeley, Calif. The campaign to give workers time off when they’re sick is picking up momentum. Before California enacted its law, Colt had given paid leave to her salaried managers as a way to retain employees in an industry with high turnover. Now, hourly employees get sick leave as well, accruing one hour for each 30 hours they work. Colt sees several benefits: She has less staff turnover, and her 20 workers take better care of their health. (AP Photo/Jeff Chiu)
