On February 9, 2022, Governor Newsom signed Senate Bill ("SB") 114 into law. The law reauthorizes COVID-19 Supplemental Paid Sick Leave ("SPSL"), providing paid leave entitlements to employees who are unable to work or telework due to a number of qualifying reasons related to COVID-19. The law becomes effective on February 19, 2022 and will require covered employers to provide SPSL to qualifying employees retroactive to January 1, 2022 and through September 30, 2022.
The purpose of this bulletin is to explain the requirements set forth in SB 114, identify key differences between this bill and Senate Bill ("SB") 95, which created SPSL in 2021, and advise employers on how they can discharge their SPSL legal obligations. Additionally, Liebert Cassidy Whitmore will be conducting a webinar about SB 114 and how to manage its requirements on February 23.
