    What Employers Should Know About California’s Latest Paid Sick Leave Expansion Understanding and complying with California's latest paid sick leave expansion is crucial for employers. It ensures legal compliance, promotes employee well-being, contributes to public health, and supports a positive work. In this episode of The Workplace podcast, CalChamber Associate General Counsel Matthew Roberts and CalChamber employment law expert Ellen Savage discuss what employers need to know about the latest expansion of the California Healthy Workplaces Healthy Families Act (SB 616). Since 2015, the California Healthy Workplaces Healthy Families Act has required all employers in California to make available at least three workdays, or 24 hours, of paid sick leave (PSL) to employees each year as long as the employee has earned the time. Starting January 1, 2024, this requirement increased to five workdays, or 40 hours (whichever is greater) of paid sick leave, Roberts explains. While the actual changes that SB 616 made to the Healthy Workplaces Healthy Families Act appear relatively straightforward, in practice, implementing the changes has proven far more difficult, he says. Methods to Calculate Paid Sick Leave Savage explains that there are three main methods that California employers may choose from to provide paid sick days: “Lump sum” (or “upfront”) method: An employer dumps the full amount of sick leave (40 hours/5 days) into an employee’s bank right away. The employee must wait 90 days to use it, and they may use it throughout the year. At the end of the year, any remaining sick leave time is lost. Under this method, it’s common to see many employees calling out sick the last week of December. Also under this method, there are no caps and no accrual that is carried over. It is the most “easy peasy—super easy for employees to understand,” Savage says. “One for 30” (or “statutory accrual”) method: Under this method, employees accrue their sick leave as they work, at a rate of one hour of sick leave for every 30 hours worked. The accrual is now capped at 80 hours or 10 days, and an employer may cap an employee’s use of sick leave at 40 hours or five days each year. Time left in the bank must be rolled over to the next year. The employee must wait 90 days to use the sick leave, but may use however much time they’ve accrued as they want after those 90 days. “Regular” (or “alternative accrual”) method: Under this method, employers have more flexibility in establishing their own accrual rules. However, under this rule they must ensure that employees accrue 24 hours of sick leave by their 120th day of employment each year, and at least 40 hours by the 200th day. Savage says there is another method: the grandfather plan. If an employer is using a grandfathered plan, Savage recommends they talk to their legal counsel as the rules on this method have gotten trickier this year. Benchmarks One point of confusion surrounding the PSL law is the establishment of certain benchmarks depending on which method is used to accrue time. Savage clarifies that the “one for 30” (“statutory accrual”) method does not require benchmark days to be met, unlike the “regular” (“alternative accrual”) method, which does require the benchmarks to be met. Part-Time Employees Another point of confusion for some employers is how to calculate sick leave time for part-time employees. Savage explains that under the “regular” and “lump sum” accrual methods, employers need to guarantee all employees receive a minimum of  40 hours or five days of paid sick leave. Under the “one for 30” method, however, employers are not required to guarantee these hours, Savage tells Roberts. “[If] I just work one hour a week, it’s going to take me 30 weeks to accrue an hour of sick leave under the ‘one for 30’ method. And guess what? I’m going to have less than two hours of sick leave over the course of a whole year, and that is just fine under this law,” she says. Questions on Lump Sum Method Some common questions Roberts has encountered on the “lump sum” method pertain to when the lump sum of paid sick leave can be given to an employee. Some employers, for example, use an employee’s work anniversary to give the lump sum. So, what do they do now that the latest expansion came into effect on January 1? Savage replies that the Labor Commissioner has issued an FAQ that provides two options: If an employer wants to keep the anniversary date approach, they needed to give employees two extra days or 16 hours on January 1, 2024. When the employee’s anniversary date comes up, unused time is lost, and the new five-day lump sum is reloaded to the employee’s bank. Also, employers should keep in mind that the new usage cap is five days, not three days/24 hours as it was in 2023. Employers may also opt to take a one-time opportunity to move everyone from an anniversary to January 1 reset. This means that an employer would wipe out everyone’s bank as of New Year’s Eve 2023 and put five days in employees’ banks on January 1, 2024, and moving forward the reload would happen on January 1 instead of an employee’s anniversary date. Changing Accrual Methods In general, can an employer swap their method of PSL accrual, Roberts asks Savage? Nothing in the PSL law prevents employers from changing their method of accrual, but there also is nothing in the law that guides employers on how to do it. If an employer is planning on changing their method, Savage recommends that they consult with their legal counsel. “If you’re going to change methods, you don’t want to be the next big lawsuit that we get to write about on HRCalifornia or talk about in a seminar. So, you want to make sure that nobody loses out on any benefit they would have been entitled to,” she says. “Don’t take away anything that could be in violation of the law. And that might mean that this year, you’re going to have some added expense for your sick leave as you transition over.” Notice Requirements, Doctors’ Notes Under SB 616, employers are required to post an updated sick leave poster. Additionally, under Labor Code Section 2810.5, employers need to send out a notice that their sick leave plan has changed within seven days of the new law taking effect on January 1, Savage explains. Employers who already offered more paid sick leave days than required by SB 616 or who were already complying with a local ordinance may not need to send out a notice, Savage points out. The 2810.5 notices are required to be issued only if an employer’s PSL policy has changed. Savage recommends that employers also update their sick leave policies in their handbook. They should also make sure to provide those changes to their employees and procure an acknowledgment as soon as they can. Under SB 616, an employer may not request a doctor’s note when an employee uses California Healthy Workplaces Healthy Families Act leave. However, the Labor Commissioner recently issued an FAQ which states that an employer may request documentation if they have information indicating that the employee is not using the paid sick leave for a valid purpose. “Let’s say your employee says, ‘Hey, next week, I want to go on vacation to Hawaii,’ and you say, ‘Hey, things are too busy. You can’t go.’ The next week, guess what the employee does? Calls out sick all week, but they’re dumb enough to post pictures of themselves on Facebook surfing in Waikiki. Now then we’re going to ask for a doctor’s note. Otherwise, not,” Savage says. SOURCE CalChamber Advocacy

    员工监控:法国对亚马逊法国物流公司罚款3200万欧元 法国数据保护监管机构 CNIL 于1月23日宣布,已于去年12月27日对亚马逊法国物流公司处以3200 万欧元的罚款,因其建立了一套“过分侵入性”的员工监控系统。 简单翻译了概况,如果对细节感兴趣可以访问官网 https://www.cnil.fr/en/employee-monitoring-cnil-fined-amazon-france-logistique-eu32-million 亚马逊法国物流公司(Amazon France Logistique)管理亚马逊集团在法国的大型仓库,接收和存储物品,然后准备包裹交付给客户。每个仓库员工都会配备一台扫描仪,(作为其工作的一部分)以实时记录分配给他们的某些任务的执行情况(存储或从货架上取出物品、收起或包装等)。 员工进行的每次扫描都会记录数据,这些数据被存储并用于计算指标,提供有关每个员工的质量、生产力和不活动时间的信息。 在媒体报道该公司仓库的做法后,法国数据保护监管机构(French Data Protection Authority,CNIL)开展了多项调查。它还收到了几起员工的投诉。 CNIL 认为系统过度监控员工活动和绩效,特别是出于以下原因: 制定了跟踪员工扫描仪不活动时间(inactivity time)的指标。CNIL 裁定,建立如此准确地衡量工作中断的系统是非法的,可能会要求员工证明每次休息或中断的合理性。 CNIL 裁定用于测量物品扫描速度的系统速度过快。基于物品被快速扫描会增加出错的风险这一原则,一项指标测量了是否在上一个物品被扫描之后不到1.25秒的时间内扫描了新物品。 更一般地说,CNIL 认为将系统收集的所有雇员和临时员工的所有数据以及由此产生的统计指标保留31天的做法过多。 CNIL 并不质疑亚马逊业务面临的非常严格的限制,以及该公司为自己设定的高性能目标,可以证明为管理其业务而部署的扫描系统是合理的。然而,它认为保留所有这些数据和由此产生的统计指标总体上是不成比例的。 因此,限制委员会(the restricted committee,机构中负责实施制裁的部门)对 AMAZON FRANCE LOGISTIQUE 处以3200万欧元的罚款。 为了确定处罚金额,限制委员会特别考虑了这样一个事实:使用扫描仪处理员工数据与传统的活动监控方法不同,因为它们的实施规模、详尽程度和它们的持久性,并导致对员工的工作进行非常密切和详细的监控。 此类系统使员工在使用扫描仪执行的所有任务中受到密切监视,从而使他们承受持续的压力。它还考虑到涉及的人数众多(数千人),并认为通过这种计算机监控对员工施加的限制直接促进了公司的经济收益,并使其在在线销售市场上相对于其他公司具有竞争优势。 SOURCE CNIL

    The Power of Employeeship and its Direct Impact on Company's Results After The Great Resignation in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic and the huge wave of Baby-boomers retirement, pressure was put on companies. Till now, the war of talent is still ongoing in the time on the edge of various crisis. Company centered strategy is shifting to people centered. What should we do? The war for Talent is something that many companies around the globe have faced over more than two decades. This phenomenon coined by Steven Hankin of McKinsey & Company in 1997 is still ongoing, more challenging than ever. It simply refers to an increasingly competitive landscape for recruiting and retaining talented employees. The Great Resignation in addition is an ongoing economic trend in which employees have voluntarily resigned from their jobs in early 2021 in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Among the most cited reasons for resigning include wage stagnation is the long-lasting job dissatisfaction. Here we could also add depopulation in some Western countries, big gap between demand and supply in critical competencies and huge wave of Baby-boomers retirement, big uncertainty in the world with conflicts and energy crisis, all of that indeed put the pressure on companies to Re-think the People strategy. So, the million question is which driving factor is the most important enabler for companies to attract and retain people? There is no general recipe and no copy-paste strategy. Instead, look deeper into your people analytics, needs and behaviours. You will find the answer BUT I would dare to emphasize that psychological safety is taking more and more place among employees as the most critical one. By empowering Employeeship with psychological safety in the ground companies can gain both in terms of individual but also team performance. Research and survey are showing that innovation as a competitive advantage is possible if a company has people with high motivation and strong feeling of belonging. How could the way to empowered Employeeship look like: "Empowered Employeeship leads to usage of full potential a company possess in its people" 1. Create a Culture of Care where people feel comfortable to admit, share and learn from failures. Companies need to have strong leadership commitment and empower its employees to bring even difficult topics to the table and discuss. Care from psychological perspective includes continues learning and development in all aspects. Care is very much about listening and understanding, supporting and coaching in the way that opens up for new ways of thinking and managing things. 2. Develop a Culture where ownership and responsibility in the organization is strong linked to each and one of the employees. If the employee is rather a partner than a subordinate than the individual contribution and feeling of personal value will be higher. This employee will give a company more value back because it will feel respected, acknowledged and empowered. This in turn will even strengthen company´s leaders and most probably lead the company to a higher maturity level. The better people the better business. At the end, all business problems are people problems. Therefore make your people accountable, responsible and put the hat of ownership on top of their heads. Just to mention, Employeeship is a philosophy adopted notably in Sweden where the hierarchy is abandoned. And it gives great companies, brands and results! 3. When having 1 and 2 in place then the most natural part is to work further with Inclusion. You can also say that companies need to develop a Sense of Coherence where three parts are important: a) the employee needs to feel included in an environment that is understandable and purposeful; b) the employee needs to have resources and conditions that makes the work possible and manageable; and c) the work that the person is expected to deliver and perform need to be part of the bigger picture and the employee needs to understand that. Just sitting in front of the computer day in and day out, delivering for example drawings of calculations will not give meaning long term. But if you put these deliveries into the bigger context by showing where this piece of a puzzle is and how it is connected to other pieces will most probably lead to higher satisfaction and retention rates, loyalty, performance and for certain create strong attractiveness as well. Empowered Employeeship leads to usage of full potential a company possess in its people. We all have individual responsibility to contribute to a culture where other people feel comfortable. Just start with yourself and how you would like to be treated. Clear direction from top management and strong commitment from all employees will make this journey possible. SOURCE ManageHR

    招聘大学毕业生,你更注重GPA还是能力? 2019年迸发了许多新趋势,人力资源招聘也是如此。大学毕业生是一个孕育人才潜力股的巨大群体。在招聘大学毕业生时,从过去的GPA至上到注重沟通和团队适应力等能力。不是GPA看不起,而是能力更有性价比。2024年伊始,关于HR在大学毕业生招聘时的偏好数据如下。 美国全国大学和雇主协会报道,雇主在招聘大学毕业生时不强调学生分数。相反,他们关注的是学生在课程作业中培养的个人特质和技能。 大多数雇主(88.7%)表示,在招聘过程中会寻找有解决问题能力的学生,78.9%的雇主想要有很强团队合作能力候选人。 另外,至少2/3的雇主认为拥有很强的职业道德,书面和口头沟通能力,分析/定量能力,灵活性/适应性以及技术能力很重要。 NACE的首席执行官肖恩 ·范德齐尔(Shawn VanDerziel)在一次新闻发布声明中说到:“在今天的就业市场中毕业的大学生需要培养能力,通过课堂内外的各种经历,帮助他们在工作场所获得成功。” 除此之外,让自己从众多候选人中脱颖而出的是将自己的技能和品质与所应聘职位联系起来的能力,并在简历和面试过程中将这些联系表达给面试者。范德齐尔说到。 报告还发现,雇主在选择两个同样合格的候选人时,雇主会首先考虑有实习经历者。 但是当谈到GPA时,只有38.3%的受访雇主说他们会用GPA来筛选候选人。相比于2019年的73.3%,该数据下降了不少。 范德齐尔表示:“现在雇主不再将GPA作为筛选工具,这不仅突出了他们更重视候选人的技术和能力,也表明他们明白,通过GPA筛人可能削弱他们建设包容性员工队伍的努力” 。 该调查于2023年8月2日至2023年9月18日进行,共收到255份回复,其中有180份是NACE雇主会员。 SOURCE SIA

Accountability is taking ownership of one’s actions, decisions and outcomes in the remote work context. This means being responsible for meeting deadlines, maintaining quality levels and honoring commitments made to colleagues and stakeholders. When working from home, it’s important to establish clear expectations and guidelines for accountability. This includes: Defining specific goals and objectives Setting realistic deadlines Providing regular feedback Giving support Accountability in remote work also requires effective communication. Inform all team members about progress, challenges and any changes that may affect the workflow. This promotes transparency and allows for better collaboration and problem-solving among teams. Benefits of work-from-home accountability 居家办公问责制的好处 To enhance accountability in remote work, it’s important to recognize its significance. Some of the benefits of focusing on accountability in remote workers include: Improved responsibility: When people hold themselves accountable for their work, they’re more likely to step up and take responsibility for the outcome of their tasks. This also gives employees a sense of accomplishment and improves job satisfaction. More transparency: When you set clear expectations for remote teams, it’s easier for them to be clear about what they’re working on and when they may need help. This also increases trust among team members. Improved collaboration: Remote team accountability helps employees collaborate by outlining who’s responsible for what, so they know who to communicate with to ensure work is completed. Fewer missed deadlines: When working remotely, it’s easy to let deadlines slide past without colleagues reminding you when work is due. Improving accountability among WFH team members helps reduce the number of missed deadlines and streamlines workflows. Better work-life balance: Accountability also improves work-life balance for employees by making sure no team members have to pick up the slack for others. 7 ways to improve work-from-home accountability 改善居家办公问责制的7个方法 Leaders and managers can establish and improve WFH accountability through a few methods. Every organization is different, so you’ll need to find what works best for your situation. 1. Set a clear WFH policy 建立明确的WFH政策 The first step in establishing WFH accountability is to have a clear policy in place. It’s a good idea to ensure team members have buy-in so they don’t feel that they can’t follow the rules. Some items your policy should cover should include expected working hours, hybrid schedules and technology usage policies. Some virtual teams may work on their own schedules and timelines while others will need to have set hours in place to ensure collaboration. Many virtual teams will need more structure than others. It’s important your policy encompasses the best system for your entire organization. Work with your managers and team leaders to find out what policies will work best for everyone. 2. Clarify responsibilities 明确职责 If employees know what’s expected of them, they’ll be more likely to hold themselves accountable to those expectations. Make sure you set clear goals, deadlines and benchmarks so employees can hold themselves to them. Workers need to know what they’re responsible for and who to ask if a project is running late or they need more help. Key performance indicators (KPIs) help teams measure the quality and efficiency of their work to make changes where needed. This is particularly important in a remote work environment where team members don’t have regular physical interactions with each other. 3. Provide the right tools 提供合适的工具 Remote employees may need additional technology and tools to communicate, collaborate and complete tasks. Make sure you provide your teams with the right technology to help them meet goals and stay on track. Virtual teams will need the right communication tool for team meetings, plus project management and collaboration tools to keep each other accountable in real time. Time management and tracking tools help teams determine how to assign project deadlines and prioritize as well. Cloud-based systems help employees work from anywhere and at any time, helping them complete projects when working from home or traveling. Leadership also needs specialized software like ActivTrak to maintain visibility and manage hybrid and remote workforces. 4. Encourage clear communication 鼓励清晰的交流 The best-performing virtual teams are those who can communicate regularly and clearly about their work. Many of the tools you provide your team members will help them communicate about work status, bottlenecks and processes. However, you should also encourage communication among teams through other means, such as weekly newsletters and quarterly all-staff meetings. Just make sure that you’re not scheduling unnecessary meetings for your team’s needs. 5. Give regular check-ins 日常打卡 Beyond clear communication about the team or organization as a whole, structured check-ins for individual employees helps ensure work-from-home policies are working for each person. Give employees a chance to voice their concerns with existing policies or let their managers know where they may be struggling. This also provides an opportunity for managers to help employees see where they’re hitting goals or where they may need to work harder. WFH environments may change over time as your team members and their needs change, so flexibility and regular feedback are key. 6. Measure productivity 衡量工作效率 Remote employee management requires understanding how your teams work best and what blockers may keep them from productivity. One way to make sure you’re setting realistic goals and that team members are accountable for their work when they work from home is to monitor productivity. There are many benefits to using WFH productivity tracking software like ActivTrak, including helping team members with time management, task management and accountability. It also gives your leaders insight to make decisions driven by data rather than guesswork, so you can see where workflows and processes may need tweaking or what’s working for your remote teams. You can also see if team members may be working too much or too little and redistribute the workload as needed. 7. Reward employees for achievements 员工成就奖励 Create a culture of engagement by rewarding employees for being accountable and meeting (or exceeding) expectations. Bonuses, extra paid time off or gifts can be special rewards, but even publicly praising employees for their contributions can go a long way toward improving accountability in your team. Other rewards can include new opportunities to further their careers or take on new challenges. Different teams and employees will have different needs for feeling valued and rewarded, so let your managers find the best way to let employees know they’re appreciated.
