Family Leave Expands in California

PROGRESS ON THE FAMILY LEAVE FRONT:

Starting in January 2021, families in California may breathe a little easier, reports Politico. That's when California Senate Bill 1383 goes into effect.

SB 1383 extends job-protected (unpaid) leave to businesses with five or more employees and expands the definition of qualifying family members to include siblings, grandparents and grandchildren. 

“Californians deserve to be able to take time off to care for themselves or a sick family member without fearing they’ll lose their job,” says Governor Gavin Newsom. “The COVID-19 pandemic has only further revealed the need for a family leave policy that truly serves families and workers, especially those who keep our economy running."

Next step: paid family leave.
