Covered Employers
On February 9, 2022, Governor Newsom signed into law a Covid Supplemental Paid Sick Leave (“SPSL”) which will become effective on February19 and will be retroactive to January 1, 2022. California’s previous Covid-19 SPSL expired on September 30, 2021.
The new law expires on September 30, 2022, however, if a covered employee is using SPSL on September 30 and the absence would continue uninterrupted past September 30, the employee gets to continue using available SPSL.
A full-time employee can take a maximum of 80 hours of SPSL during the period from January 1, 2022, to September 30, 2022, is 80 hours.
The new law was enacted as SB 114 and is codified as Labor Code section 248.6 and 248.7. To read the law see file://fs01/redirect$/laguiar/Downloads/20210SB114_97.pdf
