JUNE 2016 – President’s article by Jill Riley

Redlands Chamber of Commerce Jill Riley President

Recently I was talking to the owner of a business about a great experience I had with their company. She was so thankful that I was acknowledging good service because the majority of comments she receives are negative and often online. I started talking with other businesses and realized they were also experiencing the same kinds of online complaints. It made me wonder if complain online would complain in person as well or do they feel safe under the cover of impersonal online rantings.

Perhaps we should all make an effort to compliment as often as complain. The next time you get good service at restaurants, retail shops, the bank, or other service based companies take the time to let management know what a great job someone did or write a good review online.

As business owners we should make sure we treat other businesses the way we would want ours to be treated. Be a little kinder and when you do have a positive experience share it. I hope you all have a wonderful month.

JUNE 2016 – The who, what, when and how of Mandatory Paid Sick Leave

law books

In 2014 California became the second state in the nation to provide paid sick leave. In 2015 amendments to the original legislation took effect.

The Act applies to private and public employers regardless of size. Any employee who has worked in California for the same employer for 30 days or more within a year from the beginning of his/her employment is entitled to paid sick leave. Part time and full time employees are covered as well as exempt and nonexempt employees. Employees not covered are those already covered by a union contract that specifically provides for paid sick leave, construction employees covered by a valid union contract, providers of in-home supportive services, certain air carrier employees and specified retired annuitants.

An employer with a paid sick leave policy that was in effect prior to January 1, 2015 is not required to provide an additional three days pursuant to the Act if the policy meets the accrual method. If the employer chooses to use one of the accrual methods accrued paid sick days must carry over to the following year of employment but an employer can cap the employee’s total accrual amount at 48 hours/six days.

An employer can require the employee to wait until the 90th day of employment before using paid sick days. A limit of 3 days or 24 hours in one year can be imposed by the employer. Although the law is silent about whether the employer can require a doctor’s note to validate the need for leave the California Labor Commission has taken the position that a doctor’s note cannot be required to use paid sick leave.

An employee cannot start using accrued sick days until the 90th day of employment. An employee can use paid sick time for an existing health condition or preventive care for themselves or a “family member”, under the Act family member is defined as a child, parent (including parents-in-law), spouse or registered domestic partner, grandparent, grandchild or sibling. Paid sick leave may be used for an employee who is a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking. Leave must be provided when an employee makes a verbal or written request.

The Act contains several notice, posting and recordkeeping requirements. An employer must provide an employee with a written notice setting forth the amount of paid sick leave available to the employee each pay period. There is a required poster advising employees of their sick leave rights, it must be posted where visible and easily read by all employees. Employers must keep records for at least three years that document the number of hours that each employee worked and paid sick day accrued and used by employee.

There are many nuances to this particular piece of legislation. Employers may want to consult their labor and employment counsel.

JUNE 2016 – Member Profile – W. I. T. Windows & Doors

5 WIT windows

W.I.T. Windows and Doors, whatever it takes

Imagine your home with new replacement windows and a beautiful new energy efficient front door.

New Vinyl Windows are one of the easiest ways to increase the value of your home and increase energy efficiencies.

Why replace your door?

Better Homes and Garden magazine listed the front door as the number one way to boost curb appeal noting “new front door instantly enhances your home’s appearance, and what’s more, it can greatly increase resale value”.

Your front door is the main access point for your home.  By replacing your old door or frame and upgrading your locks you are making your home safer and more secure for your family.

Door replacement with a new fiberglass energy efficient door and upgraded weather stripping will be putting money back in your pocket.

The front entry of your home is the first and last impression friends and neighbors have of your home. What does your door say about you and your home?

Why replace your windows?

Insulating features such as heat-reflecting low-E coatings and argon gas between glass panes have become standard with replacement windows. Would you willingly toss 30 percent of your energy dollars out the window? Thirty percent of your home’s heating and cooling cost is lost through its windows and doors.

In the summer installed replacement windows with Low-E coated glass reflect outside heat away from your windows. During the cooler winter months Low-E glass reflects the existing heat back inside your home—so your home retains its warmth.

Because Vinyl does not conduct heat and cold the way that aluminum and steel do, they are much more energy and sound efficient and low maintenance for your Southern California home.

W.I.T. Windows & Door can replace one window or every window in your home. They can security doors, sun screens and much more helping you save both energy and money.

Visit the W.I.T. showroom at west Colton, or call 909, 792-6587. You can log on to www.witwindowsanddoors.com to see door, window and screen samples. The pros at WIT Windows and Doors can guide you through every step of the way and as a participating in the HERO financing program.
