Impact-California.pngAction Needed to Oppose Costly Business Mandates
The Oceanside Chamber is actively participating in a coalition to defeat two bills that would have a serious impact on small businesses as we work toward economic recovery.AB 995 and AB 1119 would impose more new mandates on small businesses including:

  • Increasing the minimum number of paid sick leave days employers must
  • Expanding reasonable accommodation requirements under FEHA, which could include an obligation to provide additional time off

We are meeting with Assemblymember Tasha Boerner Horvath this afternoon to discuss our concerns about these bills. We need your action as well. Please take a couple of minutes to go to the Cal Chamber action center and send your note to the Assemblymember. Take action now.


COVIDProtection-678x381.jpegNew COVID-19 Emergency Regulation Amendments Coming from Cal/OSHA
(Source: CalChamber)
In a development that every employer in California should be watching closely, Cal/OSHA released the new proposed text (“amendments”) for California’s COVID-19 emergency temporary standard (“ETS”) on Friday, May 7th as part of the agenda for the May 20th Standards Board Meeting. The text of the amendments merit a close review with counsel because there is virtually no chance that the Standards Board will change or reject these changes – meaning that we can assume these will pass and go into effect shortly after the May 20th Standards Board vote and the subsequent Office of Administrative Law review. And, though these changes are helpful in parts, they certainly indicate that employers will continue to have significant obligations even after the Governor’s much-discussed June 15th opening date. More details.
