California Governor To Sign COVID Paid Sick Leave Legislation

California Governor is planning to sign legislation to extend COVID-19 supplemental paid sick leave for workers.

The new legislation will also bolster California’s investments to support small businesses hit hard by the pandemic.

California Legislature passed a bill on Monday requiring many companies to give workers up to two weeks of paid time off if they get sick from the coronavirus.

California’s sick leave measure gives workers up to one week of paid time off if they get the coronavirus or are caring for a sick family member.

They can get a second week off only if they or their family members test positive. Employers must pay for and provide the test.

The proposal applies only to companies with 26 or more employees, and it expires Sept. 30.
