HR Compliance Bulletin: New California COVID-19 Leave Law Is Retroactive to Jan. 1

Under a new law, California is bringing back the state’s COVID-19 Supplemental Paid Sick Leave — with some big changes. California employers with more than 25 employees must provide up to 80 new hours of supplemental paid sick leave for specific COVID-19-related reasons.

Employers must start providing this new leave on March 29, 2021, so they will need to get up to speed on this new law quickly.
