Quick Summary:
Only California dental practices that employ at least 26 employees must comply with the new supplemental paid leave. The newly approved leave is different in that it establishes two “buckets” of leave (40 hours each) for different purposes and requirements. Covered employers must apply the supplemental sick leave policy retroactively to Jan. 1, 2022, and until it expires Sept. 30, 2022. Covered employers must also post a notice of the supplemental leave in a conspicuous location in the workplace.
Beginning Feb. 19, employers in California with more than 25 employees must provide up to 80 hours of COVID-19 supplemental paid sick leave to full-time employees who are unable to work or telework for reasons related to COVID-19, including caring for themselves or a family member who is ill with COVID-19 or experiencing symptoms after receiving a coronavirus vaccine or booster.
Only California dental practices that employ at least 26 employees therefore must comply with the new supplemental paid leave. The leave was enacted through legislation Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law today as part of the state’s early budget action on COVID-19 as the omicron variant continues to sicken workers and roil the economy.
