Legislative Update: New Employment Laws for California

 

AB 594 (Labor Code Enforcement)

AB 594 will authorize a public prosecutor to prosecute a civil or criminal action for a violation of specified provisions of the Labor Code or to enforce those provisions independently, until January 1, 2029. This bill provides that, in any action initiated by a public prosecutor or the Labor Commissioner to enforce the Labor Code, any individual agreement between a worker and employer that purports to limit representative actions or to mandate private arbitration shall have no effect on the authority of the public prosecutor or the Labor Commissioner to enforce the Labor Code.

 

AB 647 (Grocery Employee Protections Upon Change In Control)

Existing law, upon a change in control of a grocery establishment, requires an incumbent grocery employer, within 15 days after the execution of the transfer document, to provide to the successor grocery employer with a list of eligible grocery workers, and requires the successor grocery employer to maintain a preferential hiring list of eligible grocery workers, to hire from that list for 90 days after the grocery establishment is fully operational and open to the public under the successor grocery employer, and to retain each eligible grocery worker hired for at least 90 days after their commencement date, except as specified. Existing law defines “grocery establishment” for purposes of these provisions as a retail store that is over 15,000 square feet that meets specified requirements, and excludes from the definition a retail store that has ceased operations for 6 months or more.
