Welcome to the Summer Edition of the Essential!

Summer is in full swing with hot temperatures everywhere. Speaking of hot temperatures…employers in California will need to pay attention to instituting a new indoor heat illness prevention plan that is now in effect. Other California updates include PAGA reform, Ban the Box in LA County, and a new Time of Hire notice.

We also include posts on items of national interest including politics in the workplace. This is sure to be an issue as we near the November presidential election.
