Anaheim workers receive at least 5 days (40 hours) of paid sick leave annually under California's Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Families Act. The city has no separate local paid leave ordinance.
California Labor Code section 246 (expanded by SB 616 effective January 2024) requires all employers, regardless of size, to provide at least 40 hours or 5 days of paid sick leave per year. Workers accrue at one hour per 30 hours worked or receive front-loaded leave. Leave covers personal illness, family illness, preventive care, and victims of domestic violence or sexual assault. Anaheim has not adopted a separate local paid sick leave ordinance, so the state baseline applies to all employers. Violations are enforced by the state Labor Commissioner and through private right of action.
Denying leave or retaliating against workers triggers Labor Commissioner enforcement, reinstatement, back pay, civil penalties up to $4,000, and attorney fees recoverable in private suits.
