The <a href="https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140AB1522">Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Families Act of 2014</a> (AB 1522) took full effect on July 1, 2015 and requires employers of any size to provide paid sick leave, but employers have had many questions about some of its provisions. Under the law as originally passed, there are detailed accrual, carryover, and use requirements, and the effect on employers with existing sick leave and PTO policies is not always clear. <a href="https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB304">AB 304</a> amends AB 1522 in an effort to provide some clarity. The amendments go into effect immediately. <strong><a href="http://www.bakerlaw.com/alerts/updates-to-californias-paid-sick-leave-law">Read more &gt;&gt;</a></strong>
