The governor's office told CBSLA that they hope to have the extra COVID sick days reinstated by the end of the month, on an emergency basis
As cases of the Omicron variant surge, new pressure emerges to bring back two weeks of supplemental paid COVID sick leave.
“My boyfriend has an autoimmune disease. My mom is disabled. So, It’s kind of important to make sure that we’re safe and not forced to go to work. I don’t have the luxury of just not going to work and not getting paid. Bills got to get paid,” she said. “All of my sick time is exhausted until next August,” said Rhiannan Ramos who works at a San Bernardino County Stater Brothers.
Some influential business groups, like the California Chamber of Commerce, are concerned about the extra sick days, because of the potential costs to small businesses and prior abuses of the policy. Democratic lawmakers who spoke to CBSLA are all in support of the extra COVID sick days, as is Governor Newsom, but there are few specifics.
