The California Senate approved of a bill that would allow over 10 million employees in the state to receive up to two weeks of paid time off for COVID-19 related illness and treatment.
Senate Bill 95, authored by Senator Nancy Skinner (D-Berkeley), would only give the two weeks off for employees in businesses with 25 or more employees. COVID-19 time off, which may apply to getting tested, getting vaccinated, exhibiting COVID-19-like symptoms, caring for children at home due to COVID-19, or other similar situations.
SB 95 would retroactively be set to last from January 1, 2021 through September 30, 2021, meaning that employers may have to pay employees for time taken off already. However, companies would ultimately not have to pay the special paid time off themselves, as a federal payroll tax credit would be applied, giving employers up to $511 per day for each employee out under sick leave. However, the companies that can receive the credit will need 500 or more employees to qualify.
Credit can also be limited, with companies only receiving up to $200 per day for employees staying home to take care of family members. more

I read that state employees are running a scam to get out of work. If you leave the state and come back you have to quarantine for two weeks, which is paid time off.
