Workers’ Compensation Job Killer Bill Now Just Calls for Study
(Source: CalChamber)
Costly job killer legislation that would have reduced injured workers’ access to quality care was amended this week to remove the problematic provisions. With the April 26 amendments, the California Chamber of Commerce has no position on AB 1465 (Reyes; D-San Bernardino). Before the latest changes, AB 1465 would have mandated the creation of a state-run Medical Provider Network for workers’ compensation claims. Besides imposing millions of dollars of costs on the system and the state, the proposal would have reduced injured workers’ access to quality care. More details.
Mandatory Sexual Harassment Prevention Training Available for Discounted Price through the Oceanside Chamber
California law requires all employers with five or more employees to provide sexual harassment prevention training to all employees by January 1, 2021, and then every two years. This mandatory training for supervisors (two hours) and nonsupervisory employees (one hour) must also take place within six months of hire or promotion and again every two years. (Taking these individual-learner courses in a group setting will not satisfy the state requirements.) The Oceanside Chamber of Commerce has partnered with CalChamber to offer a 20% discount for online Employee Harassment Prevention Training, and online Manager/Supervisor Harassment Prevention Training. CalChamber makes it easy to train all your employees and managers to meet your California compliance obligations. More details.
