The paid leave must be used for the employee’s vaccination. The paid leave applies only to the employee’s time off for receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. Employees may not use paid COVID-19 vaccination leave to take time off to assist a family member in getting vaccinated.
The law does not apply retroactively. The law requires that employers grant paid COVID-19 vaccination leave to “employees receiving vaccinations on or after March 12, 2021.” Therefore, employers are not required to retroactively provide paid time off under the new law or otherwise compensate an employee for time off that was taken to receive a COVID-19 vaccine prior to March 12, 2021.
