Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a California Chamber of Commerce job killer bill that will impose significant costs on all California businesses by increasing the number of paid sick days employers are required to provide workers.
SB 616 (Gonzalez; D-Long Beach) disproportionally affects small businesses, which cannot spread additional work among many employees, and can ill afford the increased cost of additional paid sick leave days.
In a statement yesterday, CalChamber President and CEO Jennifer Barrera said many businesses in California already provide more than three days of paid sick leave and can afford to do so. Small businesses, however, operate on very slim margins.
