Happy LABOR DAY Weekend ADOMA!

First I would like to thank you all for electing me as president of the executive board. ADOMA means a lot to me, I started attending monthly meetings back in 1983 right before I became the office manager. I have been secretary, vice president and president of the Los Angeles chapter. Was active with executive board for several years. In early 2000, I stepped away from ADOMA to be a softball mom to my daughter. I would attend monthly meetings and conference when we were not traveling for tournaments. Well in 2013 she went off to college and I started attending ADOMA meetings and conference every month. I am so glad to be able to involved and look forward to working with the awesome people who make ADOMA so great.
With that being said we are always looking for help planning monthly speakers, mini conference and conference. If you would like to get involved or just have an idea reach out to me or any board member. Your input is always welcome.
Thanks again for trusting me to keep ADOMA going.
Aloha,
Allynn Magnolia
President

2018-2020

Published on

California businesses are continuing to struggle to make sense of this year's Dynamex v. Superior Court case, in which the California Supreme Court radically modified the test for determining whether someone working for a business is an employee or an independent contractor. Casting aside decades of developed multi-factor tests, the Supreme Court alighted on a new, simple, three-factor test. Under this test, to prove a worker is an independent contractor and not an employee, a business must show all three of the following:

Amendments clarify employer restrictions on requesting salary history of applicants
Published on
Tue, 08/21/2018 - 11:50pm
As we reported in our
2018 New Laws article, California Labor Code 432.3 imposed a new prohibition against an employer seeking or considering salary history (including compensation and benefits) of an applicant for employment. However, the new law, as originally drafted, left some ambiguities. Now, the Governor has signed AB 2282 into law, which clarifies the following ambiguities in Section 432.3.

These Four Surprising Stress Symptoms
Might Be Sabotaging Your Work
Written by Author: Courtney Clark
Not all symptoms of stress look like you would expect them to. If you suffer from one of these lesser-known stress symptoms, you might be sabotaging your success without even knowing it.
Stress doesn't always look like an overwhelmed executive shouting at her assistant to gather up files before a meeting, a worried salesman trying desperately to make quota, or a busy mom struggling to get two toddlers to put their shoes on the right feet before getting in to their car seats. In fact, stress can often fool us by showing itself in unexpected ways.
