Sickening News for Small Employers?

California's new paid sick leave law goes into effect July 1, 2015.

Once we've all exhausted our complaints about how totally unfriendly California is to small business — what should employers do to inoculate themselves?

First know what the law mandates. Unlike most of California employment laws, this statute applies to companies as small as one employee. All employers (subject to some narrow exceptions) must provide one hour of sick leave for every 30 hours worked by their employees.

Lawyers are still working out the details of how this law will be implemented. My advice – wait until the dust settles before developing your own policy and procedure.


In a few weeks HR professionals and lawyers will be sending out free sample lists of things to do to get ready for the law's start date is July. Keep tuned to www.hrlegalresults.com for further updates.  Or call me with questions and concerns at 650-518-0327.
