California	CA COVID-19 Leave (Bank Plan)	The initial Balance of 80 hours, 0 carryover, max hours to use is 80.	• Location: California • Accrual Plan: CA COVID-19 Leave • Effective Date: 1/1/2021 • Initial Balance: 80 • Days before use: 0 • Gap Days: 365 • Max Hours Use in 1 year: 80 • Max Accrual Balance: 80 • Yearly Limit: 80 • Allowed Carry Over Hours: 0
California	CA COVID-19 Supplemental Sick Leave - Variable	Initial Balance based on the formula, 0 carry over, max hours to use is based on initial balance. 1. Part-time covered employee who works variable hours, the covered employee may take 14x the average number of hours the covered employee worked each day for the employer in the 6 months preceding the date the covered employee took 2021 COVID-19 Supplemental Paid Sick Leave. 2. If the part-time covered employee has worked for the employer for fewer than 6 months, this calculation would be done over the entire period that the covered employee has worked for the employer.  3. A covered employee who is newly hired (i.e., hired 14 days or less) and works variable hours will be entitled to the number of 2021 COVID-19 Supplemental Paid Sick Leave hours that they have worked in the preceding 2 weeks.	Although the law was signed on March 19, 2021, the requirement for an employer to provide 2021 COVID-19 Supplemental Paid Sick Leave does not start until March 29, 2021.  Beginning on March 29, the requirement to provide 2021 COVID-19 Supplemental Paid Sick Leave goes back to January 1, 2021, which means that covered employees who took qualifying leave between January 1, 2021 and March 28, 2021, can request payment for that leave if it was not paid by the employer in the amount that is required under this law.

* Formula Calculations for MA Covid Leave - PT and MA Covid Leave - Var:

• MA Covid Leave - PT: An employee who works less than 40 hours a week, but maintains a regular schedule with consistent hours per week, shall be provided COVID-19 emergency paid sick leave that is equal to the number of hours that such employee works per week, on average over a 14-day period of such regular schedule.
• MA Covid Leave - Var: An employee whose schedule and weekly hours worked vary from week to week,  such employee shall be provided COVID-19 emergency paid sick leave that: (A) is equal to the average number of hours that the employee was scheduled to work per week over the 6-month period immediately preceding the date on which such employee takes the COVID-19 emergency paid sick leave, including hours for which such employee took leave of any type; or (B) if the employee did not work over such 6-month period, is equal to the reasonable expectation of the employee at the time of hiring of the average number of hours per week that the employee would normally be scheduled to work.

• Philadelphia Emergency Leave – Variable
