Businesses sue California over COVID-19 workplace rules that require testing, sick pay [The Sacramento Bee]
Dec. 17 Groups representing small businesses sued California’s workplace regulator Wednesday, saying the agency exceeded its authority and overburdened companies when it passed new COVID-19 rules a month ago.
California’sDivision of Occupational Safety and Health, commonly called Cal-OSHA, approved strict emergency regulations on Nov. 19. The regulations require companies to test employees at no cost during COVID-19 outbreaks, provide protective equipment and preserve workers’ pay and benefits when they miss work because of the virus.
Those rules, along with requirements to exclude employees from work after virus exposures, could cost California companies millions of dollars, according to the lawsuit, filed in San Francisco Superior Court by the National Federation of Independent Businesses, the National Retail Federation and three California businesses.
