Gov. Gavin Newsom is set to call for new regulation to restore supplemental paid wiped out leave policies as a feature of a $2.7 billion Covid response package.
Newsom’s administration reviewed the bundle throughout the end of the week, saying the lead representative will call for supplemental paid COVID-19 debilitated leave, “given the current situation being driven by the Omicron variant to better protect our frontline workers.”
The governor’s office didn’t share subtleties on what the new debilitated leave policies would resemble, or the points of interest on what Newsom will ask the state Legislature for.
California recently had a COVID-19 supplemental paid wiped out leave law, yet it terminated on Sept. 30, 2021.
The law, signed by Newsom in March 2021, necessitated that all businesses with at least 26 employees give 80 hours of paid COVID-19 sick leave.

Work groups, similar to the California Labor Federation, have been requiring the Legislature to reestablish the paid leave.
