"Sick Pay in California - 2024 Laws and Your Rights"

Jason explains the changes in the California Sick Pay Law for the new year. Governor Newsom signed SB 616, a major expansion of the state’s paid sick leave (PSL) law, the Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Families Act of 2014. The basic framework remains the same, but the amount of leave employers must provide increases from three (3) days or 24 hours to five (5) days or 40 hours. The bill also raises the cap employers can place on PSL and the number of sick days an employee can roll over to the next year. In plain terms, beginning January 1, 2024, employers will be required to provide five (5) days, or 40 hours. Employers may cap use at five (5) days or 40 hours per year and cap accrual at 10 days, or 80 hours. Employers should review any local paid sick leave ordinances that provide for more leave than required by California.
