As we race toward 2024, I wanted to take a moment to slow down and reflect on some of the compliance changes that have been on our radar.  I’ve rounded up a collection of legislation passed in 2023 that’s brought about changes to reproductive protections, employee leave, and the overall rights of contingent workers. While some of these policy changes have already gone into effect, others will be ringing in 2024 with us. So, settle in, keep reading, and have a happy (and compliant) new year!   ###### Reproductive Protections CA Reproductive Loss Leave Effective 1/1/2024 - in addition to Bereavement leave, the state of California has made it unlawful for an employer to refuse to grant a request by an eligible employee to take up to 5 days of leave following a reproductive loss event. Under the bill, in the absence of an existing policy, the reproductive loss leave may be unpaid. However, the bill would authorize an employee to use certain other leave balances otherwise available to them. The bill would make leave under these provisions a separate and distinct right under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act. For an employee to be eligible for reproductive loss leave, they must be employed a minimum of 30 days prior to the event, and the event is defined as any reproductive loss.

This law requires that employers consider accommodations to pregnant workers and applicants the same way the employer considers requests for accommodations related to the Americans with Disability Act.

The law leaves it up to the employer to decide whether the paid leave will be front-loaded or accrued. For employees, this will impact the carryover of paid leave. ![social posts 2023 (58)](https://blog.populusgroup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/social%20posts%202023%20(58).png?width=260&height=260&name=social%20posts%202023%20(58).png)The leave will be required to be paid out at the end of the assignment if it is not included in the employee's PTO or vacation banks. In Chicago and Cook County, employees who already receive paid sick leave (PSL), will receive this “any reason” paid leave in addition to their sick leave, as it cannot double as both.
