Bill > AB1356

This bill amends the California Worker Adjustment and Retraining Act to make several changes. It would require employers to provide 75 days' notice (instead of 60 days) before ordering a mass layoff, relocation, or termination at a covered establishment. The bill modifies the notice requirements to apply only to terminations, relocations, or mass layoffs impacting 50 or more employees at a single location. It also defines key terms like "labor contractor" and expands the definition of "employer" and "employee" to include certain labor contractor relationships. Additionally, the bill prohibits employers from requiring employees to sign away their rights as a condition of receiving severance pay, and imposes penalties for violations. Overall, the bill aims to provide more protections for workers affected by major workplace changes.
