Food sector companies in California that employ 500 or more workers will be required to offer two weeks of additional paid sick leave to workers during the coronavirus crisis under an executive order signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order Thursday requiring companies in the food sector that employ 500 or more people to provide two weeks of supplemental paid sick leave for full-time workers who contract COVID-19 or are exposed to the virus and need to isolate themselves.
The California Grocers Assn. and the United Food and Commercial Workers union support the new sick leave benefits, which the governor’s office said fills a gap left by a federal law that provides paid leave benefits to workers at smaller businesses.
“I wouldn’t have minded a command decision-making process back in March, but on the other hand this does go farther and it will be better,” he said.
