Passed in October 2025, AB 406 has added new rights to use paid sick leave and other paid time off for judicial proceedings related to being a victim of crime and for jury duty. This applies to employers with 5 or more employees, with greater new requirements for employers with 25 or more employees. These changes do not apply to religious organization employers. This change in the law will require updates to many employers’ paid sick leave policies (usually found in the Employee Handbook).
