a.Only once per year
b.It need not be disclosed at all
c.Only if the employee is terminated
d.The amount of available paid sick leave must be shown on the wage statement or in a separate writing each pay period
Explanation
California law requires employers to inform employees of the amount of paid sick leave available, either on the itemized wage statement or in a separate writing provided each pay period. This transparency lets employees track their accrued sick time. It is a per-pay-period disclosure, not an annual or termination-only obligation.
