Bill overview
This bill extends California’s law designed to help laid-off workers, particularly those impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, find reemployment. It extends the requirement for employers to offer information about open positions and prioritize rehiring former employees until January 1, 2027. The law also strengthens protections for laid-off workers, preventing adverse actions and ensuring they receive fair compensation if they are not rehired for discriminatory reasons. It clarifies employer obligations regarding record-keeping and provides a process for enforcement by the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement.
