Assembly Bill 2499 (AB 2499), which took effect on January 1, 2025, broadens previous requirements on how California employers treat employees who are victims of violence or who are the family members of victims. The new law broadens previous requirements and introduces several key changes for employers, including:

  1. An expanded definition of “victim”
  2. Reasonable accommodations for employees who are family members of victims
  3. The right to take leave for family members of victims (for employers with 25 or more employees)
  4. Greater access to paid sick leave
  5. New notice requirements for employers
