Exposed In The Workplace, Who Qualifies For Exclusion Pay Cal/OSHA ETS

If you’re in the state of California and your employer asks you to stay home from work due to workplace exposure they many need to pay you something called Exclusion Pay. It is part of the ETS Emergency Temporary Standard outlined by Cal/OSHA. Exclusion pay does not include healthcare workers, those who already work from home or when your exposure didn’t originate from your place of employment. Many employers in California are telling their employees that they don’t have sick pay available, that supplemental sick pay expired and is no longer available (that’s true, it expired September 30th, 2021 but Exclusion Pay is something different) or that you need to use your regular sick days or PTO to cover the time off. I think they just don’t know about exclusion pay because so much focus was put on the supplemental sick pay. Things change rapidly, many HR representatives are in charge of multiple states who all have different rules and it's hard to stay on top of all the changes which is why they might not know about exclusion pay. Hopefully by sharing the links about exclusion pay they will pay you if you qualify.

In California your employer must exclude you from work if you test positive, they should not allow you to work unless they are able to allow you to telework. If you were exposed, you may be allowed to work depending on your circumstances and if you were in close contact with someone who tested positive or not. Close contact is defined as more than 15 minutes in a 24 hour time period where you were less than 6 feet apart.
If your employer has told you to work when you have a positive case or still says they won’t pay you sick pay through exclusion pay, here are some additional resources:
