California SB-114 Law Providing New Bank of COVID Supplemental Paid Sick Leave for 2022
Senate Bill 114 (SB 114) requires employers with more than 26 employees to provide up to 80 hours of COVID related Supplemental Paid Sick Leave (SPSL) to employees between the workdays January 1, 2022 to September 30, 2022. Any retroactive payments for the leave and adjustment to leave balance can be done on the March Regular payroll.
2022 COVID-19 Supplemental Paid Sick Leave provides for two separate banks of leave, each up to 40 hours.
* The first bank (SPSL114) of COVID-19 Supplemental Paid Sick Leave, up to 40 hours, is available to covered employees unable to work or telework due to any one of the following reasons – employee or family member is subject to a quarantine or isolation period related to COVID-19, or vaccine appointment or side effects.
* The second bank (SPSL114P) of COVID-19 Supplemental Paid Sick Leave, up to 40 hours, is available only if an employee or a family member for whom they are providing care tests positive for COVID-19.
