Legislation recently signed into law by Gov. J.B. Pritzker will expand leave for bereaving a child and for mourning victims of violent crime; establish new leave for organ donation; and provide protections for freelance workers and temporary workers.
California employers seeking to briefly establish the eligibility requirements and terms of bereavement leave (e.g., whether it will be paid or unpaid) should consider including this model policy statement in their handbook.
