Your Obligations During Wildfires |
|
With California’s wildfire season off to a record-breaking start, now’s a good time to review your wildfire-triggered obligations to employees. These obligations fall into two categories: worker safety and leaves.
Cal/OSHA’s emergency regulation to protect workers from wildfire smoke went into effect on July 29, 2019. This regulation applies to most outdoor workplaces, which assumedly includes outdoor loading docks. When the current Air Quality Index (AQI) for airborne particulate matter 2.5 micrometers or smaller (PM2.5) is 151 or greater, affected employers must take specific steps to protect their employees from exposure to wildfire smoke.
Details of the regulation can be found HERE
In addition, the wildfires may trigger some employees’ eligibility for medical, school activities or volunteer emergency responder leave. For details, see our previous article on the topic HERE.

How to Grow Your Email List With Facebook Ads |
|
Why Combine Facebook Ads With an Email Nurture Sequence?
No matter what type of online business you run, your email list is the most important asset you have for increasing your sales.
Relying solely on social media audiences isn’t a good idea because you’re depending on a third party you can’t control. You’re constantly battling with an algorithm to get your content shown to a small percentage of your audience. And if your pages get hacked or closed down, you lose your contacts immediately.
Your email list is the only reliable way to collect customer contact details so you can communicate with your whole audience without having to rely on a third party.
Facebook ads are an effective way to gain the email addresses of your Facebook and Instagram audiences and add subscribers from a wider audience who may not already know you from your organic marketing. Here’s how to combine Facebook ads with an email nurture campaign to capture and retain new subscribers.
