Lump Sum Method for California Paid Sick and Safe Time: Handbook Statement Added

Author: Melissa Gonzalez Boyce, XpertHR Legal Editor

To assist a California employer that wishes to provide paid sick and safe time using the "lump sum" method rather than the "accrual" method, XpertHR has added the Paid Sick and Safe Time Handbook Statement [Lump Sum Method]: California. California employers that choose to provide leave using the lump sum method should consider updating their handbooks in order to inform their employees that they will be provided a specified amount of paid sick and safe time that gets frontloaded at the beginning of each year. California employers that wish to use the accrual method instead should include the Paid Sick and Safe Time [Accrual Method]: California in their handbook.

In addition, the Table of Contents for the California handbook has been updated.
