State-wise Videos

This video addresses a key employment rule in Delaware: whether caregivers are entitled to sick leave. Under the Delaware Sick Leave Act, employers with 50 or more employees must provide up to five paid sick days per year.

However, this requirement may not apply to smaller home care employers. The video clarifies which agencies must comply & how to legally manage sick leave for caregiving staff.

It also explains how policies should be clearly communicated, tracked, and integrated with payroll. For agencies, using software like CareSmartz360 helps manage these rules seamlessly by combining attendance tracking, leave policies, and payroll systems.

Who we empower every day

• Agency Owners – Apply sick leave policies correctly, avoid compliance risks, and manage fairness.

• Caregivers – Know their sick leave rights & ensure they’re honored.
• Billers / Payroll Staff – Accurately factor in sick leave into payroll calculations.
• Schedulers – Adjust schedules to cover caregiving needs when the staff is out.
• Supervisors – Track leave usage & ensure staff coverage.
• On-Call Coordinators – Effectively manage last-minute shifts in case of a sick leave.
• Care Managers – Monitor service continuity & client care when staff take leave.

Sick leave compliance is not optional for larger agencies — having systems that automatically enforce and record leave policies protects both workers and organizations.

With CareSmartz360, Delaware agencies can manage sick leave policies without manual burden. Integrated tracking, payroll, and schedule management keep teams fair, compliant, and operational even when staff need time off.
