Tag paid sick leave law

On Sept. 13, 2023, the California legislature passed S.B. 616, which expanded the State’s existing paid sick leave mandate, the Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Families Act of 2014, in significant ways.

California State has long been a leader in the paid sick leave space. The San Francisco local paid sick leave ordinance was the country’s first paid sick leave mandate impacting private employers at either the state or local level, and has been in effect for more than 15 years.
