California Healthy Workplaces Healthy Families Act mandates at least 40 hours, or five days, of paid sick leave per year for nearly all employees. Long Beach has no expanded citywide leave ordinance.
California Labor Code sections 245-249, expanded under SB 616 effective January 2024, require employers to provide a minimum of 40 hours, or five days, of paid sick leave annually, accrued at one hour per 30 hours worked or front-loaded. Workers may use leave for personal illness, care of family members, domestic-violence recovery, or preventive care. Long Beach has not enacted a broader citywide paid-sick-leave ordinance, unlike Los Angeles. Hotel workers covered by Measure WW receive additional protections, and certain city contractors must provide paid leave through the Living Wage Ordinance health-benefit adder.
Labor Commissioner citations, civil penalties of up to $4,000, reinstatement, back pay, and attorney fees. Retaliation for using leave is independently unlawful.
