California Sick Leave Law Update: Possible 5-Day Requirement

9/20/2023

The California State Legislature passed a bill (SB 616) that, if signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom, would require employers in California to provide workers with five days of sick leave per year, up from the current three days mandated by law. The California Association of Health Facilities (CAHF) opposes the legislation, expressing concerns about the increased costs for skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) and the lack of accompanying funding to cover these expenses. CAHF emphasizes that SNFs largely rely on government payers and fears potential challenges in hiring staff to meet mandatory staffing standards due to ongoing workforce issues. The bill is supported by the California Labor Federation and SEIU California, with proponents arguing that it enables workers to prioritize their health without financial strain, while opponents contend that many small businesses, still recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, may struggle to afford the additional sick days.

This new law might give workers in California five sick days instead of three each year. Some people think it's great because workers can take care of their health without worrying about money. But others, like the California Association of Health Facilities, are worried. They say it might make things harder for nursing homes because they rely a lot on money from the government and hiring enough staff is already tough. It's a big debate because some small businesses, still trying to recover from COVID-19, might find it hard to pay for these extra sick days
