Today California Governor Gavin Newsom will sign a budget bill (SB114) creating a new entitlement to supplemental paid sick leave (SPSL) for reasons related to COVID-19.  The new law is similar to the prior SPSL law (AB84/SB95), which expired on September 30, 2021.  (WTK’s Special Update on the 2021 law can be found here.)  The bill will take effect in ten days – on February 19, 2022, but will apply retroactively to January 1, 2022, and will be effective through September 30, 2022.
