New state laws increase protections for employees By Susan Wood
A 'Sue Your Boss Law,' SB796, gives employees more grounds to take legal action against an individual or company upon termination.
'Usually the people who are going to take advantage of these laws you don't want working for you anyway,' said Larry Miller, a Halliburton oil executive from Bakersfield in town for the holidays.
With the new law, employee handbooks are not automatically going to save employers. A disgruntled fired worker will have more ammunition for a lawsuit with the new rules. The civil action may be imposed and managed by the Labor Commission, despite California's being an at-will state.------------------------------------------- posted 9:22 AM :: reference link ::
