New COVID-19 protections for California employees New COVID-19 protections for employees By: Adam Racusin and last updated 2021-01-16 11:38:57-05 SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — As the number of Californians testing positive for COVID-19 continues to climb, California workers have new protections to help keep them healthy. Assembly Bill 685, which took effect Jan. 1 of this year, deals with COVID-19 exposure, notification, and violations. The new law requires employers to provide notice within one business day to employees who have been exposed to COVID-19 at their worksite and report to the California Department of Public Health if an outbreak occurs. The reason that we had to introduce this is because we had lots of employers who were not notifying their employees when they had been exposed to someone who was positive for COVID-19,” said bill author Assemblymember Eloise Reyes. It seemed like it was common sense, but it wasn t happening.
