How to eSign a document: online signature legitimateness for Sick Leave Policy in Mexico

[Music] making a lot of news recently is the paid sick leave increase under SB 616 this will become effective January 1st 2024 now it modifies California's healthy workplaces healthy families act um which uh was effec of January 1st 2015 um I can't believe it's been that long I remember doing webinars for C back in 20 2015 actually we were in person back in 2015 um about the new paid sickly requirement and and that new new law I can't believe it's been um yeah what eight years since that's passed so um just a reminder under the healthy workplaces healthy families act I I've put a few reminders in here the new SB 616 didn't change um a lot of the the basics uh the requirements under the paid sick leave requirements and I've got a few of those reminders out here basically you know it applies to all employers here in California for any employee Works more than 30 days 30 days or more um and also the law requires that employers provide a written notice to an employee setting forth the amount of paid CLE available on payday this can be as part of their pay stub or separate writing given to the employee payday um the paid sick leave is available upon oral or written requests by the employee so you can't condition the paid sick leave payment um you can't condition that on a writing from the employee so if they orally say they're out for one of the covered reasons the employer has to go ahead and pay that and also um employers can't require an employee to find a replacement worker for paid sick leave so getting into the details of the new law that it expands the amount of paid sick leave available to employees um it increases it to five days or 40 hours and that's increase from three days or 24 hours under this current law that um is in effect until the end of 2023 so it's just bumping these uh amounts up all employers are going to have to comply with this um as you recall there's two different methods employers Can U provide the paid sick leave to the employees and um the first one's under the Ral method and employers can still use the acral method of one hour of paid sick leave acur for every 30 hours work and any other acral rate on a regular basis uh as long as the employee acrs no less than 24 hours by the 120th calendar day of employment and acrs five days or 40 hours by the 200th calendar day of employment or each calendar year um employers can satisfy this acral requirement by providing not less than 24 hours or 3 three days of paid sick leave to the employee upon the completion of the 120th calendar day and no less than 40 hours or five days of paid sick leave that is available to the employees to the employee on their 200th calendar day of employment um the employee the employer can also um provide this upfront Grant under the law um you the current law allows it the new law continues to allow The Upfront Grant and the employer there can just provide the 40 hours or five days at the start of employment and then renew this every calendar year or annual basis um so that um does uh continue to apply and if the um just some reminders here um the cap on acrel uh employers can cap the acral of paid sick leave but that acral cap now is going up to 10 days or 80 hours so employers have to adjust their policies to comply with this and also the carryover um is going to increase as well uh from year to year um it it does have to carry over but employers May limit the use of paid sick leave to 40 hours or five days in each year of employment calendar year or 12- month period and then again employers who provide an upfront Grant do not need to provide any acrel or carry over from year to year so some action items on this um employers need to update new hire packets and their notice to employee this is going to be a theme today too uh there's some other new laws that require uh notice to employee to be updated so the current notice of employee I've got a a link there that the dlsc publish publishes is still current but that's going to have to be new come January 1st 2024 um it's going to have the new these new am ounts that are available under the paid sick leave right now it's spelled out under the current amounts when the employer checks the Box on the second page of that notice to employees so those are going to have to be updated obviously you have to update the employee handbooks and workplace posters and then ensure compliance with any local ordinances that require more paid sick leave um so yeah keep your eye on the local ordinances and then obviously update the past dub information and I recommend getting going on this early and don't re rely on your um payroll company to update this um start working on it now and I've got a sample past du here on this slide showing all the required information and at the lower right hand corner the amount of paid sick leave available um this meets that requirement of the writing that needs to be provided to the employee Every payday of how much paid sick leave they have available so that's going to have to be adjusted to account for the new um acral the new uh amounts that the employees are permitted to have for paid sick
