On February 9, 2022, Governor Newsom signed a new law requiring employers to provide supplemental COVID-19 paid sick leave in 2022. The law, SB 114, was passed quickly by the legislature and signed by the Governor. Unlike the supplemental paid sick leave law passed in 2021, there are no offsetting tax credits for employers
Just as employers thought there could not be any additional paid sick leave requirements, the County of Los Angeles passed yet another COVID-19 paid leave requirement for employees obtaining or effected by the vaccine. This ordinance requires employers to pay up to four hours per injection for COVID-19 vaccine paid leave under certain circumstances.
