Last week, Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law a requirement for all California employers with more than 25 employees to provide up to 40 hours of COVID-19 Supplemental Paid Sick Leave to employees who are unable to work or telework due to any of the following reasons:

Employees who are considered full-time or who have worked or been scheduled to work, on average, 40 hours per week in the preceding two weeks are entitled to 40 hours of COVID-19 Supplemental Paid Sick Leave.

Covered employees are entitled to up to 40 additional hours of COVID-19 Supplemental Sick Leave if the employee or a family member to whom the employee is providing care tests positive for COVID-19. Employers may require proof of the positive test result.

Employers’ obligation to provide COVID-19 Supplemental Paid Sick Leave is retroactive to January 1, 2022, and remains in effect through September 30, 2022. For any qualifying leave taken between January 1, 2022 and the enactment of the new state law (SB 114), employees may request a retroactive payment or credit, and the number of hours of leave corresponding to that payment or credit will count towards the total number of COVID-19 Supplemental Paid Sick Leave hours available to the employee.
