California workers will be entitled to five paid sick days, up from the current three, under a new law signed by Gov.
Gavin Newsom on Wednesday. The state's powerful labor unions lobbied heavily for the legislation, which stalled at the Capitol in previous years but gained momentum after the COVID-19 pandemic cast new light on public health and the need for essential worker protections. “Too many folks are still having to choose between skipping a day's pay and taking care of themselves or their family members when they get sick,” Newsom said in a written statement.
Additional one-time costs — such as $1 million for payroll logistics — are also expected. There is no federal law requiring paid sick leave, but states including New York and New Mexico offer more than California, even under the new law. Some cities in California already required more than the state standard, including Los Angeles, where employers must provide at least six paid days of sick leave.
