Paid Sick Leave for Employers “Too Big” for FFCRA

Employers with more than 500 employees (and certain healthcare employers) were not required to provide paid sick leave under the federal FFCRA, a 2020 benefit I discuss in more detail in my blog (and would link here if wasn’t frustrated by this software and about to throw my computer out the window).

Last week, Governor Newsom signed AB1867 expanding the Paid Sick Leave to employees exempted from the FFCRA’s provisions. These new sick leave provisions take effect September 19^th.  The California Labor Commissioner issued a new notice you can post here.
