We’ve included a copy of the required notice in your Document Center. Under California’s paid sick leave law, employers are required to include certain information about their paid sick leave policy in a wage notice that is distributed to each of their non-exempt employees working in California. If your office is based in California, we also highly encourage you to print out one of the posters above and hang it in your office. Justworks will redesign this poster and add to the Document Center for all California-based employees.
PosterĮmployers also need to display a poster with this text for all their employees in California. You can set up a policy in Justworks by following the directions here. In a “front-load” approach, you grant the minimum upfront amount required by the corresponding jurisdiction. Setting up a “front-load” policy may be the most administratively simple approach. California’s paid sick leave law outlines the different methods for accruing and paying sick leave time that will satisfy the state law’s requirements, which you can read more about here. Setting up a compliant policyĮmployers are required to set up a policy that meets the minimum California requirements and any local applicable paid sick leave ordinances and document the policy in a written form. Paid sick and safe leave may also be used by an employee who is a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking, to seek aid or medical attention, obtain services or counseling, or participate in safety planning. “Family member” for purposes of a paid sick leave policy includes a spouse, registered domestic partner, child (regardless of the child’s age), parent (including a stepparent or parent-in-law), grandparent, grandchild, or sibling. Employee eligibilityĪll temporary, part-time and full-time employees who work in California for the same employer for 30 or more days within a year from the commencement of employment are entitled to paid sick and safe leave.Įmployees may use accrued paid sick time for any of the following reasons: the diagnosis, care, or treatment of an existing health condition of, or preventive care for, the employee or the employee’s family member. Your paid sick leave policy and practices should be reviewed periodically by your legal counsel for the states and localities in which your employees are working to ensure compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, and to ensure that your policy and practices are appropriate to your particular situation. If more than one paid sick leave law applies, you must comply with the provisions of each law that most benefit the employee. Jurisdictions with paid sick leave ordinances include San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Berkeley, Oakland, Emeryville, and Santa Monica, and that list keeps growing.
Many cities and counties in California have separate paid sick and safe leave regulations and ordinances. Some of these requirements are also detailed further below. There are other requirements under the law, which you can read more on here.
