AB 1522 (Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Families Act) requires California employers to provide paid sick leave to employees who work how many days within a year?

• A. 10 days of paid sick leave per year.
• B. 15 days of paid sick leave per year.
• C. 30 or more days of paid sick leave within a year.
• D. 60 days of paid sick leave within a year.

Answer: (C)

AB 1522 defines when an employee becomes eligible to receive paid sick leave. The key point is that eligibility kicks in after the employee has worked 30 or more days in a year for a covered employer. In other words, workers who have fewer than 30 days of service in the year aren’t yet entitled to paid sick leave under this state law (though local rules or employer policies can offer more). Once eligible, the leave is accrued at a rate of at least one hour for every 30 hours worked, up to a maximum of 24 hours (3 days) per year. The other thresholds listed don’t align with the statute’s eligibility requirement.
