The US federal government is not like other national governments. Any powers not enumerated in the condition rest with the state governments. As an example, murder is generally not a crime under federal law [0] despite generally being considered Bad. Over the years, for better and worse, the interpretation of what powers the federal government are given had expanded dramatically. Even so, compelling paid sick leave at the federal level would need to rely on the interstate commerce clause. I'm all for paid sick leave, personally, but doing it in a way that actually passes conditional muster and isn't overturned by a court isn't as easy as saying "this is a good thing, why don't we do it?"
