"California Implements New Law to Expand Paid Sick Time for Workers"

California workers will now be guaranteed a minimum of five paid sick days annually, thanks to a new law signed by Governor Newsom. The law, SB 616, aims to provide a safety net for workers who previously had to choose between missing a day's pay and taking care of themselves or their family members when sick. Labor unions had been advocating for this expansion, especially in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The law will take effect on January 1, 2024.
