New Covid-19 Employer Handbook
Governor Newsom announced new supports for California’s workforce, including preventative measures, employer education and long-lasting worker protections. The new PDF guide, “COVID-19 Employer PlaybookFor a Safe Reopening” is available now for free. Employers will be enjoined to get on board with protecting their essential workers with a new safety handbook that simplifies guidance across various business sectors. The handbook will distill the various health orders and amendments, offer best practices and provide information on compliance and testing for employees.
To ensure long-lasting protection for essential workers, Newsom said he plans to work with the state legislature and Congress to expand worker protections, including building on executive orders to cover gaps in paid COVID-19 sick leave and workers compensation. The state also plans to strategically enforce labor laws and strengthen employer reporting of outbreaks to move more quickly to isolate those affected and contact trace.
