Description

In California, most workers earn Paid Sick Leave to take time off work to care for themselves or a family member. Read about the different types of Paid Sick Leave below. Paid Sick Leave (PSL) is a permanent law in California that requires employers to provide paid time off to workers for treatment, diagnosis or preventative care for themselves, a family member or a designated person. Starting January 1, 2024, employers must provide at least 40 hours or five days off each year to most workers. This includes full-time, part-time and temporary workers who meet these qualifications: - Work for the same employer for at least 30 days within a year in California, and - Complete a 90-day employment period before taking any paid sick leave
