Los Angeles and San Diego Pass New Paid Sick Leave Ordinances

June 14, 2016, Covington Alert

Not content with California’s state law requiring employers to provide certain employees with paid sick leave, Los Angeles’s Mayor recently signed into law a new ordinance that would provide eligible employees working in the City of Los Angeles with more generous paid sick leave benefits. Meanwhile, voters in San Diego also recently approved a local sick leave ordinance that differs in key respects from the state law.
