California Expands Family Leave and Paid Sick Leave to Non-Family

It’s the gift that keeps on giving. In the month of September, Governor Gavin Newsom has signed dozens of employee-friendly bills into law, several of which will directly affect California employers. We have discussed some of these laws over the last few weeks, including the pay transparency law, expanded cannabis protections for employees, and new CCPA compliance requirements for employers. To add to this never-ending list is AB 1041, which will expand family leave and sick leave to allow employees to take leave for “designated persons”.
