New Employment Laws for California 2011

Stools or Chairs Required
The California Court of Appeal in the case of Bright v. 99 Cent Only Stores that Civil penalties could be brought against an employer for failing to provide suitable seating for cashiers.  Interestingly, I do have a case against K-Mart stores throughout California for exactly this issue.
Requirement That An Employer Post A Bond If Appealing A Labor Board Claim
Starting January 2011, Employers that appeal wage and hour claims will be required to first post a bond with the court for the amount the Commissioner has awarded.
Paid Leave Organ or Marrow Donors
If you are an employer with 15 or more employees, you will be required to provide a paid leave of up to 30 workdays for those employees that are donating organs and up to 5 paid workdays for those employees that are donating bone marrow.
