Are elected or appointed officials entitled to accrue and use paid sick time under the Earned Sick Time Act?
No. Elected officials are not employees under the Earned Sick Time Act and will not be entitled to paid sick time. Appointed officials in a policymaking role (planning commissioners, members of the zoning board of appeals, board of review) are similarly not employees entitled to paid sick time. On the other hand, appointed officials in non-policymaking roles (assessors, building officials, zoning administrators, etc.) are considered employees and will be entitled to paid sick time under the Earned Sick Time Act.
