Executive President's Message
|
|
Greetings ADOMA and Friends of ADOMA,
|
|
|
As we all try to make some kind of sense of how to run our daily lives, some of us are working, some are working from home, and a lot of us have been sent home with no real idea of how long this uncertainly will continue to go on. Social distancing has become a real issue, for years I have been telling my daughter to unplug and interact with people. Well, now I am telling her to please just stay home and use your phone or computer to stay in touch with your friends. Crazy how things are going. Please everyone stay safe and know we are thinking of you all and look forward to having life go back to normal soon.

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA CHAPTERS
- Joint Meeting in Elk Grove
- Speaker: Monica Baumann, Partner of Scali Rasmussen Law Firm (BIO)
- Topic: California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) Updates - CCPA Fact Sheet
Join us for CCPA Updates and learn what dealers need to know to be and stay in
compliance. The CCPA law went into effect on
January 1, 2020
. Are you prepared?
What is the CCPA?
AB 375 allows any California consumer to demand to see all the information a company has saved on them, as well as a full list of all the third parties that data is shared with. In addition, the California law allows consumers to sue companies if the privacy guidelines are violated, even if there is no breach.
What does your company need to comply with the CCPA?
The law went into effect on January 1, 2020. As a practical matter, companies needed to have their data tracking systems in place by the start of 2019, since it gives consumers the right to request all the data a company has collected on them over the previous 12 months. That was a very tight time frame.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CHAPTERS
- Speaker: Dave Reese, Fine, Boggs & Perkins LLP (BIO)
- Topic: You’re hired! Now what?
Join us and hear what Dave Reese of Fine, Boggs & Perkins LLP has to share.
In a Business Office—as in much of life—the old saying is true: the Devil is in the Details. And in managing personnel issues, there are lots of little Devils running around. How do we document the new-hire orientation? How do we build and maintain personnel files? How long do we keep them? How do we create, document, and implement incentive compensation plans.? How do we get other departments to provide us what we need in terms of information and documentation to properly manage the workforce? Come to this monthly meeting armed with questions that keep you up at night as we collectively tackle some of these little Devils before they become big problems
.

DOL regulations clarify criteria for use of EPSL, documentation necessary to substantiate leave & more
(Published on Wed, 04/01/2020 - 10:02pm)
|
Temporary regulations applicable to the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) were
released by the DOL today
. Among other things, the regulations clarify that state and local shelter in place and safer at home orders and directives do qualify as a quarantine or isolation order for the purposes of emergency paid sick leave (EPSL). However, this leave is available only when an employer is open and operational and has work for the employee to do, but it is the employee who is unable to work due to the order. Thus, if an employer is closed because it is a non-essential business and ordered to close under the state or local order, or the employer is an essential business (and remains open), but experiences a slowdown in customers such that there is no work for the employee, the affected employee would not be entitled to EPSL absent some other qualifying reason. On the other hand, if the employee is scheduled to work or can telework, but experiences some circumstance related to the stay at home order preventing her from working, she can avail herself of the leave.

Business interruption coverage may be possible;
but very uncertain
COVID-19 TASK FORCE ALERT
(Published on Fri, 03/27/2020 - 6:48pm)
|
Will insurers pay?
With all of California under a “shelter in place” order from the Governor, car dealers across the state are wondering if their business interruption insurance will cover any of the income lost due to mandatory showroom closures and other disruptions. At first blush, it appears that most insurers will not cover these losses, as most policies only apply where there is damage to the covered building or the immediate vicinity, and others also have exclusions for communicable disease. Nonetheless, depending on the specific wording of your policy and the facts at your dealership, there may be compelling arguments that coverage applies. We therefore recommend a careful analysis of your policy as soon as possible, with an eye to whether you should put your insurer on notice or file a claim.

FAQ on The Families First Coronavirus Response Act
COVID-19 TASK FORCE
(Published on Fri, 03/27/2020 - 1:54pm)
|
This document is created from Frequently Asked Questions we receive from our clients concerning the application of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) that are not addressed in our original analysis of the FFCRA. It is not the sole input we have on the FFCRA and its practical effect on you and your business. But in the interest of time and due to the onslaught of questions and triage legal advice we are providing into the wee hours of the night, we are doing our best to provide you with information on only the most commonly asked questions that aren't addressed in our other publications. This FAQ was originally posted on March 21, 2020 and will be continually updated as more information comes in from the federal government and agencies. That new information will be updated with the date of the updated information.
