Beginning July 1, Nonpublic Agencies and schools located within the boundaries of the City of Los Angeles will be required to provide employees a total of six days of paid sick leave. The new ordinance doubles the state mandate of three days of paid sick leave for workers. Modeled after the current state law, employees will accrue 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked. Provisions of the ordinance, require newly hired employees to complete 90 days on the job before they can begin accumulating sick leave. Employers with 25 or fewer employees have until July 1, 2017, to implement the City's new paid sick leave requirements.
The ordinance amends Article 7 of Chapter XVII of the Los Angeles Municipal Code and is available to read in its entirety here.
