COVID Supplemental Paid Leave (effective 3/29/2021)

On March 19, 2021, Governor Newsom signed SB 95 (COVID-19 Supplemental Paid Sick Leave) to allow for COVID leaves from January 1, 2021, through September 30, 2021. There are similarities to the FFCRA COVID leaves but some differences so please review the notice carefully.  If you have already used COVID leave after January 1, 2021, this time will be deducted from the newly available leave accruals. This new leave policy also covers vaccination appointments and time off if needed for vaccine-related symptoms. (For more information, click the links below)
