California workers will get five sick days instead of three under law signed by Gov. Newsom
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a law to increase the amount of minimum sick days for workers from three days to five.
Workers in California will soon receive a minimum of five days of paid sick leave annually, instead of three, under a new law Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Wednesday.
The law, which takes effect in January, also increases the amount of sick leave workers can carry over into the following year. Newsom said it demonstrates that prioritizing the health and well-being of workers “is of the utmost importance for California’s future.”
“Too many folks are still having to choose between skipping a day’s pay and taking care of themselves or their family members when they get sick,” Newsom said in a statement announcing his action.

wait, that's per year ?
I'm in canada and I never had sick days in 18 years until the government passed a law requiring at least two sick days. Now I have 2 days per year.
Also this summer I broke my ankle and had to use all my vacation days to heal while still working from home. I would get exhausted so would use a couple hours of vacation every day, until they ran out.
I'm so tired sometimes I wonder what this is all for
