New business-related laws, rules and regulations for 2021

This report is gathered from news stories in the Pasadena Star-News and the Los Angeles Times.

From the LA Times: Sweeping new laws ramping up in 2021 will force California businesses to offer employees more help to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic, including measures on disclosure of workplace infections, on healthcare and wage replacement, and on job-protected leave to care for sick family members. 

Happy New Year - 2021 will be an improvement!

Happy New Year.

2021 will bring a changed business landscape and a very different workplace for most all of us.

As we move into 2021, I wish you all the best and hope we can share a prosperous, happy and fun New Year!
