COVID-19 safety continues to be a priority in workplaces throughout California as more people receive their vaccines.

Benefits & Leave

 

All California workers, regardless of immigration status, have the right to a safe and healthy workplace. Workers’ rights and benefits are provided by different agencies based on the situation and some are specific to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is important that workers inform their employer as soon as possible if they were diagnosed or may have been exposed to COVID-19.
