Effective January 1, 2021 employers with five or more employees will be required to offer family and medical leave as a result of a new law which expands the existing California Family Rights Act (CFRA).
Currently, the California Family Rights Act (CFRA) covers employers with 50 or more employees within a 75 mile radius to provide up to 12 weeks of unpaid, but job protected, leave during each 12-month period for purposes of family and medical leave. Eligible employees are able to take unpaid leave for numerous purposes, including to care for a “family member” (minor child) with a serious health condition.
This new law effective January 1, 2021 expands the current CFRA to now apply to employers with five or more employees and eliminates the requirement that employees work within 75 miles of the worksite. There have also been modifications to the definition of “family member”, which is expanded to include siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, and domestic partners. Additionally, the definition of “child” is expanded to cover all adult children (regardless of whether they are dependent) and children of a domestic partner.
This new legislation, SB 1159, affects employers in California. The legislation shifts the burden of proof to presume that covered employees who contracted COVID-19 did so at work, unless the employer can disprove it. This presumption goes into effect immediately, and is retroactive to cases on or after July 6, 2020 through January 1, 2023.
What is the immediate action employers have to take?
Covered employers who have had employees with positive COVID-19 tests must go back and report to their Workers Compensation (WC) claims administrator any positive results dating back to July 6. This must be done no later than October 17, 2020.
Who does the presumption apply to?
What is considered an “outbreak”?
An “outbreak” exists if within 14 days one of the following occurs at a specific place of employment:
What does an Employer have to do?
If an employer “knows or reasonably should know” that an employee has tested positive for COVID-19, it shall report the following information to its workers’ compensation claims administrator within three business days:
