"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.

"California Governor Expands Paid Sick Days for Workers, Restricts Hand Counts in Elections"

California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed legislation guaranteeing workers at least five paid sick days per year, up from the current three days, while also increasing the accrual and carryover amounts. The expansion of paid sick leave aims to improve productivity, reduce healthcare costs, and provide economic security for workers and their families. The move is seen as a significant win for workers who have struggled to access adequate paid sick time, and it reinforces California's commitment to protecting the health and well-being of its workforce.
