The handbook contains links to several employer and employee resources and provides a comprehensive checklist of applicable policies and procedures for businesses that reopen.
As California businesses begin their reopening, it is essential that all possible steps be taken to ensure the safety of workers and the public. In addition, it will be critical to have appropriate processes in place to identify new cases of illness in the workplace and, when they are identified, to intervene quickly and work with public health authorities to halt the spread of the virus. These efforts are essential to avoid further shutdowns.
