Employers and the California Chamber of Commerce yesterday called on the Senate Labor and Industrial Relations Committee to pass a bill that will provide a simplified, voluntary way for establishing flexible work schedules.
SB 1335 (Cox; R-Fair Oaks/Dutton; R-Rancho Cucamonga), a CalChamber-sponsored job creator bill, was praised by employers and employees, and sponsored by 32 local chambers of commerce. The bill provides a simplified process for establishing flexible work schedules and creates a win-win-win for employees, employers and the environment by promoting better work-life balance, improved workplace productivity and retention, and reduced traffic and greenhouse gases
A vote was not taken on the bill because of absent committee members. SB 1335 will up for a vote on Monday, April 19.
ACTION NEEDED: Call members of Senate Labor and Industrial Relations and ask them to support SB 1335.
