Thank you to our sponsors and guests for a great day on course, including top sponsors Control Air, DMG, Kaiser Permanente, W.E. O’Neil, and Rosendin Electric.

At the end of the day, congratulations went to team Sigler who beat out the rest of the field with their first-place win! The Anaheim Chamber appreciates everyone who attended the After-Golf Mixer and picked up a few silent auction items donated by our members.

|
|
|
On Sept. 9, President Biden announced that employers with more than 100 workers must require the COVID-19 vaccine or implement weekly testing for unvaccinated workers. The rule will also require a paid time off element for workers to get vaccinated or recover from vaccine-related side effects. As of now, it is unclear when OSHA will complete an Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) and require businesses to implement the mandate. |

California Lawmakers Approve Extending

|
|
|

SB 389 specifies that cocktails to-go would require the purchase of a meal and be limited to two cocktails per meal. |

New California Law Helps With Workplace Notices |
|
|
|
As HR practitioners are well aware, federal and California laws require employers to post a large number of notices in the workplace. These notices are generally intended to make employees aware of their rights under various laws and provide information about how employees can report complaints to the relevant agencies. For the most part, these notices are required to be physically posted in conspicuous places in the workplace, such as break rooms or other common areas, where employees can easily read them, but a new California law may help employers with employees requesting flexibility on work location.
The pandemic made it clear that there needed to be another, more effective way to provide required information to remote employees. Senate Bill 657 (SB 657) moves things in the right direction. Signed by Governor Newsom on July 16, 2021, SB 657 takes effect on January 1, 2022. It adds a short section to the Labor Code simply stating that in any instance in which an employer is required to physically post information, an employer “may also distribute that information to employees by email with the document or documents attached.”

With summer in full swing, you may not be thinking of the coming raining season and the potential for higher than normal rainfall that can cause flooding and property damage.

Last Friday, the Legislature made final decisions on key bills including telecommunications priorities AB 537 and SB 556 and housing bills SB 9 and SB 10 await the Governor’s signature. Several bills did not make it past the Legislature, such as AB 1395, an ambitious emissions reduction bill with undefined policies, and AB 1041, which would have broadly extended family leave and exposed employers to litigation.
