The Governor and the California Legislature have announced<\/a> two weeks of COVID-19 supplemental paid sick leave to California workers through Sept. 30, 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n“Throughout this pandemic, we have come together to address the immediate impacts COVID-19 continues to have on millions of California families, both at home and at work,” Newsom said.<\/span><\/p>\nThe original supplemental paid sick leave for COVID-19 had expired last year, on Oct. 1, 2021.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nBy providing two weeks of COVID-19 supplemental paid sick leave, Newsom hopes the state can protect the health of California workers while assuring the economy can thrive. According to a press release, California will work to handle the needs of small businesses through the state budget.<\/span><\/p>\n“Early budget actions will also include restoring business tax credits, including research and development credits and net operating losses, that were limited during the COVID-19 Recession; tax relief for recipients of federal relief grants for restaurants and shuttered venues; and additional funding for the Small Business Covid-19 Relief Grant Program,” Newsom said in the press release.<\/span><\/p>\nAccording to the Service Employees International Union of California, this came as a result of workers coming together and ordering the state to enact a COVID-19 supplemental paid sick leave.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n“When workers speak out and stand up for our rights, everyone benefits,” Bob Schoonover, President of SEIU California, said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThe Communications Director for the California Labor Federation, Steve Smith, said this agreement shows that the Governor and the state legislature have heard the workers\u2019 concerns, <\/span>“The fact that the governor and legislative leadership came to an agreement today brings a sigh of relief to all of us. It shows that they are acting with urgency to get this done,” Smith said in an interview.<\/span><\/p>\nAccording to the California Labor Federation, the State Senate and Assembly are expected to vote on this soon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nPhoto Cred: Rick Pedroencelli\/ Associated Press<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
