Kaiser Permanente will be providing COVID-19 paid leave benefits to employees who work in California per the recent state law. These benefits are effective for qualifying absences from January 1, 2022, through September 30, 2022.
COVID-19 paid leave benefit overview Here are the reasons you may take COVID-19 paid leave and the number of hours you may take for each reason. |
|
You may not exceed 80 hours in total COVID-19 paid leave between January 1, 2022, and September 30, 2022. If you are not a full-time employee, you may have fewer total hours available to you.
The COVID-19 paid leave request and attestation form will be added to the HRconnect COVID-19 paid leave benefits summary in early March. You will need to complete an attestation form and let your manager know to code these hours as COVID-19 paid leave. If you took time off on or after January 1, 2022, for one of the reasons listed above, you may ask your manager to retroactively have those hours recoded as COVID-19 paid leave, up to the benefit limits.
