SAN ANTONIO -- Earlier this month, the Paid Sick Leave Commission wrapped up its sole task to redraft the ordinance bearing the commission’s name.

• City plans to adopt the ordinance on October 3
• Ordinance could still end up in a court of law

Now, at least two members of the Ad Hoc Committee say the final draft of that ordinance could still end up in a court of law.

Following Monday’s cancelled Ad Hoc on Paid Sick Leave meeting, council member Roberto Trevino answered the question about whether or not the next generation of a paid sick leave ordinance could end up in a legal battle.

“Will there be a lawsuit? The answer is that it’s probable,” said Trevino.

Relaying information he received from lawyers representing business groups wishing to challenge paid sick leave, Ad Hoc Chair Manny Palaez gave the reason why the ordinance will be challenged in court.

"They’ve promised that they will see us in court regardless of what this commission did and I hold them to their word,” said Palaez.

Right now, the Ad Hoc Committee is reviewing changes made by the Paid Sick Leave Commission.

Highlights include naming the ordinance “Sick and Safe Leave,” establishing a baseline amount of earned hours to 56 hours for a year of employment, create a “one-size-fits-all” ordinance regardless of company size, and come December 1, immediately roll out the ordinance to all employers regardless of company size.

On Thursday, the San Antonio City Council will be briefed on changes. The city plans to approve the updated draft on October 3. In November, city lawyers and business lawyers will be back in court to discuss changes.

If business lawyers are satisfied with ordinance changes, the December 1 target date is firm. If not, expect lawyers representing companies of all sizes to file that suit committee members expect.
