Yesterday, February 9, 2022, California’s governor signed Senate Bill (SB) 114, which creates a new Labor Code section 248.6 addressing supplemental paid sick leave for COVID-19.
The law takes effect immediately and is retroactive to January 1, 2022, but an employer’s obligation to provide 2022 COVID-19 supplemental California paid sick leave (CPSL) does not begin until 10 days after the governor signed the law which will be February 19, 2022.
Here are some great sources who are explaining this new law while we await further direction from DIR.
