As 2020 draws to a close, new state laws will be taking effect in January, changing the rules for employers regarding paid sick leave, COVID-19 reporting, classifying gig workers in California, requirements for minorities on boards, changes to workers’ compensation, among many others.
California Globe talked with Sandy Rappaport, a labor and employment attorney with Hanson Bridgett about some of the new laws and what they mean for employers.
California’s AB-685, which requires employers to inform employees and local health officials about COVID-19 in the workplace, takes effect in January, as does an increase in minimum wage and SB-1383, which expands the California Family Rights Act to cover all employers with five employees or more. It used to only apply to employers with 50 or more employees.
This means under the CFRA, now employers with only five employees will need to provide 12 weeks of job-protected family leave for bonding leave, illness, and active duty. The definition has also been expanded for family members — it now includes grandparents, grandchildren, and siblings.
Also under family leave, Assembly Bill 2017, revised the kin-care leave law to provide that an employee has the right to designate sick leave as for kin care; or for the employee’s own health condition or for obtaining relief if the employee is a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. This is more like the paid time off system of personal time off which an employee can use at their sole discretion. read more

“California = who gives a fuck.”
Those of us that live here. Thanks for playing.
But people are getting their $600 checks soon, right? All will be well soon.
We’re in good hands with our great government.
What a fucking farce. Delusional, incompetent leftist elites in charge.
Enjoy the new year, all. 2020 wasn’t shit compared to 2021++.

If years had a smell, 2021 would be gunpowder.
I’d imagine that a California murder-for-hire business specializing in whacking politicians and bureaucrats would have a large potential clientele and might be quite profitable. What with the disappearing police forces and the new prog DAs, there would be only a slim chance of getting caught and even then there would be no bail costs and little or no jail time.
The only real problem with this business model is all the new employer laws passed by the Dem pols and all the new bureaucrats to enforce them.
Is this what you call a “chicken and egg problem”?
</satire>
Holy shit. You think California is bad? Who the fuck does Kate Brown think she is. Some one needs to fix this shit.

So… Do you have to pay Kali 13% income taxes on that $600 relief check? Asking for a friend…

I’m smelling a biz opportunity. With your brains and my looks, we can’t fail. Now we need a name. How about,”you elect them, we’ll neglect them”?
@Brad — Yeah! or maybe Government Solutions LLP.
Uncle Al
LOL, I like it. But we’re gonna need more ammo.
@Brad — How are your local supplies of .45-70 Government? (-:
Hey! That’s it! .45-70 Government Solutions LLP.
Shit I say we call it that no matter what we’re throwing at them. It’s got a certain Tom Horn ring to it that will instill confidence in prospective customers. I say done.
Why not the .577/450 Government Solutions LLP? Just to make it confusing?
Uncle Al, I think Erik’s trying to horn in on our gold mine. LOL
.9mm Creedmouse.
The Mount Tumbledown Guards .577/450 Government Solutions LLP
Maybe we should cut to the chase,
50 BMG Solutions. 1 shot, Multiple Kills. Have Gun, Will Travel.
Disclaimer, You’re paying for the ammo.
Quite so, Brad.
HAA!
Erik
I paid 50 bucks and shot 5 rounds of 50 BMG. The bad news is my shoulder are tender. The right one still hurts. The good news, you’ll never ever flinch again shooting a pistol. LOL
Hey, I thought .50 was illegal in California! *snicker*
Do they allow that puny little ol’ .470 Nitro Express? If so, can I, um, borrow your shoulder? LOL
Uncle Al
“Hey, I thought .50 was illegal in California! *snicker*”
Everything is actually legal in California providing you can pay for the permit. But damn, I am impressed. Yes, 50 BMG is illegal for the average militia member. Not much difference in ballistics with the .470. Availability now is another issue.
