Generally, it should be the employee who decides how much accrued sick leave to use. Employers can set a minimum daily increment up to four hours and cannot be required to provide more than 40 hours of sick leave in a calendar year.

A: Employers must show, on your pay stub or a document issued the same day as your paycheck, how many days of sick leave you have available. This will require some retooling, because employers previously did not have to provide this information on pay stubs, says Felicia Reid, an attorney with Hirschfeld Kraemer.

If an exempt employee works 40 hours or more in a week, sick leave still accrues based on a 40-hour workweek but not beyond the 40 hours. If an exempt employee works less than 40 hours in a week, sick leave accrues based on the employee’s normal workweek. 18.

Under this system, employees receive a certain number of days for vacation, sick leave, and personal time. For example, if a company grants 10 days of vacation, 5 sick days, and 2 personal days, the employee would have a total of 17 days of paid time off. Many companies have converted to this method to prevent abuse of sick time and to provide employees with flexibility to take time off when desired. Upon termination of employment, the employer must pay the employee for unused paid time off, including vacation, sick leave, and personal days.

The law does not require employers to offer vacation time and sick leave to employees. Nevertheless, many employers provide these benefits to full-time workers as a way to retain employees and to provide job satisfaction.

Yes. If a new employee begins work when there are fewer than 120 days left in the employer’s calendar year, the employer must carry over the employee’s accrued sick leave into the next calendar year. After 120 days, the employee can use accrued sick leave.

(09-14) 14:30 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- The state's new sick leave law, which was signed last week by Gov. Jerry Brown and takes effect in July, requires almost all public-and private-sector employers to give almost all workers in California at least three paid sick days per year.

A: Starting July 1, employees will be entitled to at least 24 hours (three days) per year. How soon you get them will depend on whether your employer uses the accrual method or gives them in a lump sum. Under the accrual method, employees will earn at least one hour of paid leave for every 30 hours worked. That works out to a little more than eight days a year for someone who works full time. But employers can limit the amount of paid sick leave you can take in one year to 24 hours (three days).
