EDH CHAMBER OPPOSES AB 1119 "JOB KILLER" |
|
|
|
Employment Discrimination & Accommodation |
The California Chamber of Commerce and the organizations listed above respectfully OPPOSE AB 1119
(Wicks), which has been labeled as a JOB KILLER. AB 1119 adds any individual with “family responsibilities” as a protected class to the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), which creates an automatic basis for an individual in that new classification to challenge any adverse employment action.

|
EDH CHAMBER OPPOSES AB 1041 "JOB KILLER" |
|
|
|
CA Family Rights Act (CFRA) |
CFRA was just expanded on January 1, 2021 to apply to small businesses with only 5 employees. Not only was CFRA extended to apply to small businesses, but the family members for whom an employee can take leave to provide care was also expanded. Because of those changes, CFRA no longer runs concurrently with its federal counterpart, the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). |

The new American Rescue Plan, just signed into law, gets the ball rolling to help out on many people’s financial well-being. Payments will soon be coming by direct deposit, checks, or a debit card to people eligible for the payment. You can learn more about who’s eligible, and the timing, at IRS.gov/coronavirus.
