COVID SICK PAY: Gov. Gavin Newsom and California lawmakers say they've made a deal to bring back supplemental sick leave for workers who get sick from COVID that will be retroactive to Jan. 1.
Tuesday’s deal, which would be retroactive to Jan. 1, will require employers to provide up to 40 hours of paid leave to full-time workers who are sick or caring for a loved one. Proof of a positive test would be required to qualify for an additional 40 hours of paid leave. The deal provides sick leave equal to the number of hours a part-time worker would usually work in a week, or twice that amount with a positive test.
“By extending sick leave to frontline workers with COVID and providing support for California businesses, we can protect the health of our workforce, while also ensuring that businesses and our economy are able to thrive,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement.
