California Paid Sick Leave Lawyers
All employees who work at least 30 days for the same employer within a year in California, including part-time, per diem, in-home supportive services (IHSS) providers, and temporary employees, are entitled to paid sick leave with some narrow exceptions.
As of January 1, 2024, the law requires employers to provide and allow employees to use at least 40 hours or five days of paid sick leave per year. Before January 1, 2024, an employer could limit an employee’s use to 24 hours or three days during a year.
Some cities and counties in California go even further and provide more paid sick leave to employees, including Oakland, San Francisco, Berkeley, Santa Monica, Emeryville, Los Angeles, and San Diego. If you work in one of these areas, your employer must provide the paid sick leave required by the local ordinance if it is higher than the requirements of state law.
Failure to do so may subject an employer to fines and penalties under the California Labor Code.
If you believe you are not being provided the accurate amount of Paid Sick Leave, it is important that you speak with an attorney as soon as you can. Contact us or Call us at (626) 432-5422 for a free consultation.
