This training program will provide an overview of the key intent for establishing paid sick leave programs and policies. It will also discuss the finer points of California law and how that relates to trends spotted all across America.
Many employers already offer their employees at least three days of paid sick leave or other paid time off (PTO). Some of these employers are mistaken in assuming that the new laws will not affect them. This webinar will explore how these laws apply to virtually all employees who work 30 or more days within a year. This includes part-time, temporary, and seasonal employees, who often are not covered by existing sick leave and PTO policies. In California, the Act (and other related changes in AB 1522) also subjects California employers to new posting, notice, and recordkeeping requirements - reminding all employers not to take these changes lightly.

Soon after, President Obama signed EO 13706 requiring federal contractors to allow employees to earn paid sick leave.Many employers already offer their employees at least three days of paid sick leave or other paid time off (PTO).
