Summary:
|
Due to recent changes in Labor Code, Board Policy and Administrative Rule 4121 must be created to address the legal mandates regarding AB 1522, the Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Families Act. A sample from the California School Board Association was used as a model for this policy.
The Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Families Act (AB 1522) requires districts to grant paid sick leave to temporary, substitute and part-time employees who work 30 or more days within a year. Such employees will be entitled to one hour of sick leave for every 30 hours worked and may begin to use accrued sick days on the 90th day of employment. The law also expands the purposes for which sick leave may be used to include:
*preventative care or the diagnosis, care or treatment of an existing health condition for an employee or the employee's family member (expended to include a registered domestic partner, grandparent and sibling).
* the need of an employee who has been a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking to obtain or seek relief (including social and legal assistance) or medical attention for himself/herself or his/her child.
The sick leave provisions added by AB 1522 do not apply to employees covered by collective bargaining agreements and CalPERS retirees. |
