| CAL OSHA CONSULTATION SERVICES
|
Let Cal-OSHA help your store maintain a healthful place of employment.
You can
obtain free professional assistance from Cal/ OSHA Consultation Services. Cal/OSHA
consultants help employers by:
- Identifying actual and potential safety
or health hazards in the workplace and finding solutions to eliminate or control
them.
- Identifying sources of help for employers if further technical
assistance is needed.
- Providing a written report summarizing the
finding of any consultation visit.
- Interpreting applicable safety and
health standards.
- Helping establish or improve worksite Injury and
Illness Prevention Programs.
- Helping develop and/ or conduct safety
and health training of both supervisory and non-supervisory
personnel.
All services of Cal/OSHA Consultation Service are at no
cost to you.
Cal OSHA Consultation Services are entirely separate and
distinct from the enforcement activities of the Division of Occupational Safety
and Health (DOSH).
Consultants do not issue citations or assess
penalties, and they do not inform DOSH of their work with an
employer.
Any employer who has had a wall-to-wall survey performed by Cal/OSHA Consultation Service, and has an effective Injury and Illness
Prevention Program in operation, will greatly reduce the likelihood of citations
or penalties if inspected
by DOSH.
Employers with fixed worksites and
250 or fewer employees at a specific worksite, can become exempt from a DOSH
discretionary compliance inspection by participating in a voluntary compliance
program.
To obtain assistance or information from Cal/OSHA
Consultation Service contact the toll-free phone number in your area.

Employers are required by California Law to give the
following notice to each employee, individually, in writing, regarding the
Earned Income Tax Credit:
Earned Income Tax Credit
Based on your annual
earnings, you may be eligible to receive the Earned Income Tax Credit from the
federal government. The Earned Income
Tax Credit is a refundable federal income tax credit for low-income working
individuals and families. The Earned
Income Tax Credit has no effect on certain welfare benefits. In most cases, Earned Income Tax Credit
payments will not be used to determine eligibility for Medicaid, Supplemental
Security Income, Food Stamps, Low-Income Housing or most Temporary Assistance
for Needy Families payments. Even if you
do not owe federal taxes, you must file a tax return to receive the Earned
Income Tax Credit.
Be sure to fill out the
Earned Income Tax Credit form in the Federal Income Tax Return booklet. For information regarding your eligibility to
receive the Earned Income Tax Credit, including information on how to obtain
the IRS Notice 797 or Form W-5, or any other necessary forms and instructions, contact the Internal
Revenue Service by calling 1-800-829-3676 or through its website at www.irs.gov.
