California Paid Sick Leave (PSL)

by Department of Industrial Relations

In California, most workers earn Paid Sick Leave to take time off work to care for themselves or a family member. Read about the different types of Paid Sick Leave below. Paid Sick Leave (PSL) is a permanent law in California that requires employers to provide paid time off to workers for treatment, diagnosis or preventative care for themselves, a family member or a designated person. Starting January 1, 2024, employers must provide at least 40 hours or five days off each year to most workers. This includes full-time, part-time and temporary workers who meet these qualifications: - Work for the same employer for at least 30 days within a year in California, and - Complete a 90-day employment period before taking any paid sick leave

Worker Rights and Employer Responsibilities

by Department of Industrial Relations

California’s labor laws protect all workers, regardless of immigration status. The Department of Industrial Relations serves all workers in multiple languages and our team does not ask about/track immigration status. If you need to leave California or the United States, you can still contact our office to file a claim. If you are employed in California, your employer must provide a safe workplace and pay all the wages you are owed. If you think an injury or illness is work-related, you may be able to receive workers’ compensation benefits from your employer to pay for medical care and partial wages. Your labor rights allow you to ask your employer about your pay and working conditions. When you exercise your labor rights, it is against the law for your employer to retaliate against you.
