     5  the  control  and  direction of an employer for wages or other remunera-
     6  tion.
     7    b. "Employer" means any person, firm, partnership, institution, limit-
     8  ed liability company, corporation or association  that  employs  one  or
     9  more  employees;  and  the state, any political subdivision thereof, any
    10  department,  board,  bureau,  division,  commission,  committee,  public

    12  entity performing a governmental or proprietary function for  the  state
    13  or any political subdivision thereof.
    14    c. "Paid sick leave" means the payment of the full wages of an employ-
    15  ee  during any period of such employee's absence from his or her employ-
    16  ment because of illness, injury, medical  condition,  need  for  medical
