the option to offer their employees Emergency Paid Sick Leave (EPSL) in 2021. On March 19, 2021, Governor Gavin Newsom approved Senate Bill 95 (“SB 95”) which entitled most California employees to a new bank of COVID-19 supplemental paid sick leave, but did
not go into effect until March 29, 2021.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

for part-time employees. The EPSL that UC is offering in 2021 is more generous than federal law would require and more generous than California’s COVID-19 supplemental paid sick leave.
