Is it possible to receive compensation for sick leave months after I called out?

For context I work in a restaurant in California and, I've called out of work a few times due to being sick. I definitely qualify for paid sick leave, having worked there just under a year. I just found out that California law required 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked, which I was unaware of at the time. I have received no compensation, nor have I been informed of being able to use paid sick leave. Do I have a valid claim? I do plan on leaving soon, and I'd rather not abuse my accrued hours the last few weeks.
