flag Nebraska company updates PTO policy to meet new sick leave law, offering up to 160 hours annually.

flag Gana Trucking & Excavating in Nebraska updated its paid time off policy to comply with the state’s new paid sick leave law effective October 1, 2025, offering 56 hours of annual sick leave and reducing traditional PTO. flag Most employees now receive more total paid time off, with long-term workers eligible for up to 160 hours, though new hires receive only sick leave. flag The company says the change exceeds legal requirements, but some workers criticized the lack of communication and concerns about using leave in winter. flag Advocacy groups note the policy, while legal, may undermine the law’s goal of expanding access without cutting benefits. flag PTO earned before October 1 remains unchanged, and the transition period allows continued PTO payouts for those with upcoming anniversaries.
