August 18, 2022 | CDF Labor Law LLP Filed Under: General (CA)

Consistent with the increased safety protections that we have seen put in place in the hotel industry for hotel workers throughout California over the past few years, the City of Los Angeles recently passed an Ordinance to further regulate hotel worker safety. Effective August 12, 2022, the Hotel Worker Protection Ordinance requires hotel employers to provide Personal Security Devices (i.e., panic buttons) to every hotel worker assigned to work in a guest room or bathroom alone. A Personal Security Device cannot be a whistle, noise-maker, alarm bell, or other similar device. The Device must provide direct contact between the worker and the hotel’s designated security officer or it will not be compliant. Hotel employers in Los Angeles are also required to provide training to workers on the purpose and use of these panic buttons.

“Healthcare Workers Minimum Wage Ordinance” Provides Los Angeles City Healthcare Workers With Minimum Wage of $25 on August 13, 2022 and Rising in 2024

July 21, 2022 | CDF Labor Law LLP Filed Under: Wage & Hour (CA)

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, many cities throughout California have enacted “hazard pay” or “hero pay” ordinances across a variety of industries with the healthcare industry as a focal point.On July 7, 2022 Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti signed the “Healthcare Workers Minimum Wage Ordinance” (“Ordinance”) which, effective August 13, 2022, increases minimum wages for non-supervisory/managerial employees of privately-owned healthcare facilities within the City of Los Angeles. The stated purpose of the Ordinance is to “fairly compensate[] [healthcare workers] for keeping us safe while facing risks to themselves and their families.” The bill recites that between 2019 and 2020 job vacancies for various types of nursing personnel increased by up to 30%, and that nearly 30% of healthcare workers are considering leaving the profession altogether (based on a 2021 survey by the Washington Post-Kaiser Family Foundation). The authors claim that an increase in the minimum wage to $25.00 per hour will help alleviate some of these concerns. The Ordinance will go into effect on August 13, 2022 and provides for further annual increases to the minimum wage based on the annual increase in the cost of living (as measured by the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers) beginning on January 1, 2024.
