Coordinating Paid Leave

Mandatory PSL is paid for by the employer. An employee will generally not need to access wage replacement benefits during these paid days off, such as State Disability Insurance (SDI) or Paid Family Leave (PFL) benefits.

There may be situations where paid sick days are used to supplement the SDI or PFL benefits and provide whole compensation. SDI and PFL only partially replace an employee’s regular wages. For more information, see State Disability Insurance and Paid Family Leave.

If an employee is on a CFRA or FMLA leave of absence and does not receive any type of state wage replacement benefit, you can generally require the employee to usePay and Benefits.
