Several Assembly Bills were not successful under Governor Schwarzenegger, however, they will probably become priorities once the budget situation is under control. It is important for employers to understand these bills and let the members of your legislature know your thoughts on these bills. Per SHRM Magazine March 2011 the following bills are likely to come up again during Gov. Brown's term.
AB3063 - would have codified additional restrictions on pre-employment inquiries regarding criminal convictions.
AB 2340- would have required employers to provide paid bereavement leave of up to three days.
The legislature in several past sessions has sought to expand the California Family Rights Act(CFRA) to smaller employers - those with 25 employees instead of 50.
AB 1881 - would have doubled liquidated damages that can be assessed against employers for violating teh state's minimum wage laws.
AB 2187 - would have imposed criminal sactions for an employer's failure to pay all wages owed to a departing employee within 90 days of the employee's last day of work.
