Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.

Full-salary injury leave for public safety

If you are a regular, full‑time public safety worker and are hurt or become ill on duty, you get paid leave with no loss of salary. The leave lasts up to one year, or ends sooner when you retire on a permanent disability pension and actually start getting disability pension or advanced disability payments. This paid leave replaces temporary disability or maintenance payments under workers’ compensation during that time. It applies no matter how long you have worked. Covered roles include city police; city, county, or district firefighters; sheriffs and sheriff’s staff; district attorney investigators; county probation staff; certain lifeguards; harbor or port police; Los Angeles Unified School District police; and full‑time peace officers in counties of the eighth class. This paid leave does not count against your state family and medical leave.

Who is not eligible for full-salary leave

City police and city, county, or district firefighters who work for the City and County of San Francisco are not covered. This rule applies back to January 1, 2010. Also, listed employees whose main job is clerical or other non‑active work (like phone operator, clerk, stenographer, machinist, or mechanic) are not covered.

Insurers can pay employers instead

If the employer is insured, the insurer may pay the employer the disability money it would normally pay the injured worker. This does not change the worker’s right to the full‑salary leave.
