AB 2127 (BENOIT)
SMALL BUSINESS FAMILY SCHEDULING OPTION
Southwest
California Legislative Council Position: SUPPORT
AB 2127 will allow employees and employers flexibility in
work schedules.
It is important to help accommodate employees' diverse
family obligations, personal pursuits, commuting issues and
environmental concerns by allowing a small business to agree
to provide scheduling options requested by an employee. This
will give small employers a new tool to retain employees.
Since union employees and their employers would not be
affected by the new options being offered in AB 2127, this
piece of legislation should be a win-win for employers and
employees throughout our state.
The request
for the option must be made by the employee, in writing,
and it must be made voluntarily, along with the
agreement executed in writing to the employer being
required to maintain a copy of the written agreement as
they would any personnel record are fair and equitable
for both the employee and employer.
AB 2127 is the most equitable way to allow an
alternative scheduling option.
