Sacramento employees accrue paid sick leave under California's Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Families Act (Lab. Code Section 245+), expanded to 40 hours or five days annually effective 2024. Sacramento has no broader local sick leave ordinance.
California Labor Code Section 245 and following, the Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Families Act, requires nearly all California employers to provide paid sick leave. Employees accrue at least one hour per 30 hours worked, with usage capped at 40 hours or five days annually since SB 616 took effect January 1, 2024. Unused balances carry over up to 80 hours. Sacramento has not adopted a richer local sick leave ordinance like San Francisco or Oakland, so the state floor governs. Separate state laws cover paid family leave through SDI, COVID-era supplemental leave (now sunset), reproductive loss leave, and bereavement leave.
Sick leave violations are enforced by the California Labor Commissioner, with remedies including paid sick days owed, administrative penalties up to 4,000 dollars, plus PAGA representative actions for systemic noncompliance.
