Workers in California will soon receive a minimum of five days of paid sick leave annually, instead of three, under a new law Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Wednesday.
The law, which takes effect in January, also increases the amount of sick leave workers can carry over into the following year. Newsom said it demonstrates that prioritizing the health and well-being of workers “is of the utmost importance for California’s future.”
“Too many folks are still having to choose between skipping a day’s pay and taking care of themselves or their family members when they get sick,” Newsom said in a statement announcing his action.
Meanwhile my colleague managed to get 40 days paid leave + 30 days paid vacation last year. We’re in Germany. Now you say: nice for him. But not really. Someone had to do all the work he couldn’t do in those 40 sick days.
Edit: to make myself clearer. He was sick on mondays or fridays usually/conveniently.
Edit2: seems I must’ve missed that im on /c/antiwork here. Excuse me for careing about my job and getting mad about people making my life difficult.
