Can I provide more paid sick leave to some employees and not others?

HRCalifornia

Yes, an employer may treat different classes of employees differently as long as all employees in that class are treated equally and as long as the minimum paid sick leave law requirements, including any local paid sick leave ordinances, are met for each class.

For example, an employer may elect to provide more paid sick leave to full-time employees than to part-time employees.

Legal counsel should review any changes that an employer might choose to make to an existing paid sick leave policy.
