From our surveys and those of others it has become clear most employers are unprepared.
If you feel confident you are compliant, you may wish to move on to other business. But, if you are unsure, here are a couple ways to approach your obligations under these new regulations:
- Take a “deep-dive” by conducting your own investigation: Start by attending a webinar on January 7, 2021 to learn the what’s, how’s and the why’s of these employer requirements.
- Hire a knowledgeable consultant to assist you through the process.
Take a “deep-dive:”
The January 7, 2021 webinar will be sponsored by the Sacramento Employers Advisory Council (SEAC) They will present the main points you need to know and how to comply with the legal requirements.

As we all know, the Covid Pandemic has forced us to change many of the ways we conduct business, so we need to take these employer responsibilities seriously. It looks like the affects will be with us for some time.
The regulations for Covid compliance are very complicated and confusing. Seek advice from a qualified consultant, HR Professional and/or your employment attorney to make sure you have taken all proper steps to comply.
