California Eases Employers’ Obligations to Report COVID-19 Cases to Employees and Local Public Health Departments

On September 29, 2022, Governor Newsom approved Assembly Bill 2693, which as of January 1, 2023, will no longer require employers to notify their local public health department of each workplace outbreak and eases employers’ COVID-19 notification obligations to potentially exposed employees and employers of subcontracted employees through January 1, 2024.

With respect to the easing of employers’ COVID-19 notice obligations, employers now have the option of either continuing to provide written notification of potential COVID-19 exposures to each affected individual (as previously required under California law) or posting a notice about the potential exposure in all places where notices to employees regarding workplace rules or regulations are customarily posted. The posted notice must be displayed for 15 days and the employer would be required to keep a log of all dates such notice was posted. The full text of this legislation can be found here.
