AB 1513 Safe Harbor Compliance   
The law firm of Barsamian & Moody prepared a white paper outlining requirements of AB 1513. Briefly, under Labor Code section ("LC �") 226.2, recently created by AB 1513, employers are required to compensate employees, who are paid on a piece-rate basis, separately for time spent on rest and recovery periods and "other nonproductive time."  "Other nonproductive time" is defined as time spent under the employer's control, not including rest and recovery periods, that is not directly related to the activity being compensated on a piece-rate basis.  As of January 1, 2016, employers must comply with the new law as explained below. (LC � 226.2.)  Employers have a limited opportunity to take advantage of a Safe Harbor Rule and must notify the Department of Industrial Relations no later than July 1, 2016 of their intention to use the Safe Harbor Rule. For the full article, click here. For assistance, Ron Barsamian and Patrick Moody can be reached at [email protected]or (559) 248-2360.
