California extends COVID-19 paid sick leave, expands small business relief

The legislation provides up to two weeks of paid sick leave for those recovering from COVID-19, on top of the three days of paid sick leave that employers are already required to give workers. California had previously extended its paid sick leave earlier in the pandemic, but the program expired in September.

The reinstated sick leave program is retroactive to Jan. 1 and officially ends on Sept. 30. It applies to businesses with 26 or more employees. The program also provides 40 hours – or eight days – of paid time off for workers who are: experiencing symptoms that are consistent with COVID-19, subject to quarantine requirements or taking care of a sick relative or child whose school or day care is closed because of the virus.

A sign is displayed outside a restaurant along the Coast Highway 101 in Encinitas, California, on Friday, Dec. 18, 2020.
