July 2015
Earlier this week, the California Legislature passed Assembly Bill 304, which provides a number of important amendments to the state’s recently enacted paid sick leave law, the Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Families Act (the “Act”). The amendments, passed as emergency legislation, goes into effect immediately. While it is clear that the bill is intended to ease compliance and provide clarity, like its predecessor, the bill is poorly drafted and on the key issue of earning sick leave, considerable uncertainty remains.
