– COVID-19 Supplemental Paid Sick Leave
While Statewide supplemental paid sick leave that was passed last year for food sector and other workers expired on December 31, 2020, the legislature has bills pending to resurrect this leave.
These bills would extend the COVID-19 food sector supplemental paid sick leave for food sector workers as well as the COVID-19 supplemental paid sick leave for other covered workers, if those workers are unable to work or telework due to certain reasons related to COVID-19 and meet specified conditions.
– Bereavement Leave
This bill would require an employer with 25 or more employees to grant an employee up to 10 business days of unpaid bereavement leave upon the death of a spouse, child, parent, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, or registered domestic partner. AB 95 also would require an employer with fewer than 25 employees to grant up to 3 business days of unpaid bereavement leave.

The next-generation of wireless technologies – known as 5G – is here.
