Paid sick leave is a crucial workplace benefit that allows employees to take time off when they are ill without the fear of losing income. It not only promotes individual health but also contributes to public health by reducing the spread of contagious illnesses in the workplace.

Previous to this policy update, California required employers to provide three days of paid sick leave annually. However, recognizing the need for a more robust safety net, the state has now extended this to five days.
