California Labor Commissioner Julie A. Su reminds employers that California's paid sick leave law goes into effect today.
"With California's new paid sick leave law in effect, most workers now won't have to choose between their family's health and their job," said Christine Baker, Director of the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR). The Labor Commissioner's Office is a division within DIR.
The Healthy Workplace Healthy Family Act of 2014 (Assembly bill 1522) generally provides most employees the ability to accrue at least one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked, paid at the regular rate of the worker's wages. The employer can also provide employees at least 24 hours of sick leave up front for use during the year. Workers may begin using their accrued hours beginning on the 90th day of employment. "In order to help achieve healthier workplaces, my office is committed to providing essential education to workers and employers on their rights and responsibilities under the new paid sick leave law," said Labor Commissioner Julie A. Su. |
