Categories: Labor & Employment

On July 24, 2020, the California Department of Public Health (“CDPH”) issued guidance entitled “COVID-19 Employer Playbook For a Safe Reopening.”  The CDPH then revised the 32-page Employer Playbook a week later, on July 31st.  A link to the most up-to-date guidance is available here.

The stated purpose of the Employer Playbook is to help California employers plan and prepare for reopening their business and to support a safe, clean environment for workers and customers.  A summary of the key provisions of the Employer Playbook is discussed below.
