CA Supplemental Paid Sick Leave Expansion

California Senate Bill 95 (SB-95) expands the California Supplemental Paid Sick Leave (SPSL) to provide up to 80 hours of paid sick leave time to employees for various COVID-19 related absences effective March 29, 2021, retroactively to January 1, 2021 and will sunset on September 30, 2021.

CA Supplemental Paid Sick Leave

The qualifying reasons under the expanded California SPSL are similar to the previous permissible uses under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) and include two new additional qualifying reasons related to COVID-19 vaccines.

California SPSL will be replacing Emergency Paid Sick Leave (E-PSL) effective March 31, 2021. As some employees may still be affected by school and childcare closures the Expanded Family Medical Leave Act (E-FMLA) is still available.
