Episode 42: New Laws Small Business Must Know for 2024. Ben Ebbink Sets It Straight.
Who better to guide us through the tricky terrain of California's new labor and employment laws effective January 1, 2024, than compliance expert Ben Ebbink of Fisher Phillips, Sacramento? Join your host for this episode, Tim Taylor, as he and Ben discuss the increasing paid sick leave from three to five days under SB616 and its potential impact on small businesses. They'll also share other types of leave, including family and medical leave, underscoring that these laws now extend to even the smallest employers in the Golden State. Then on to a couple of more contentious bills, SB 553 and SB 848. The former mandates employers to create a written workplace violence prevention plan, conduct annual training, and maintain a violence incident log for five years. The latter, initially aimed at preventing employers from forcing employees to intervene in organized retail theft, underwent amendment with the removal of this requirement. You'll hear the importance of addressing hazards like shoplifting and armed robbery in the workplace with employees. As the conversation continues, there's emphasis on focusing on the complexities of implementing employment laws in California. There's more as Tim and Ben scrutinize reproductive loss leave, its limitations, and lack of required documentation. Big and bold is the subject of the legalization of cannabis in California, its challenges and the intricacies of proving impairment in cases of driving under the influence. With this discussion, we hope to provide some clarity and guidance to navigate these intricate laws and essential understanding of them.
