Reminder: July 1 Deadline for Employers to Participate in AB 1513’s Safe Harbor from Penalties on Piece-Rate Back Payments

0

OAKLAND, California, June 27, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) today reminds employers of the July 1 deadline to notify DIR of their intention to make back payments to piece-rate workers in exchange for relief from statutory penalties and other damages.

Assembly Bill 1513, authored by Assemblymember Das Williams (D-Carpinteria) and signed into law by Governor Brown in 2015, established pay requirements for piece-rate workers for mandated rest and recovery breaks and other nonproductive time. The new law also provides a short window of time for employers to make back wage payments to piece-rate workers for rest and recovery breaks and other nonproductive time in exchange for penalty relief provisions.

“I introduced this bill to clarify confusion in the statute after two landmark court cases and, with the support of employers and workers, established a fair and manageable method of payment for ‘rest breaks’ and ‘non-productive time,'” Assemblymember Williams said. “This bill provides employers who were facing costly litigation with a window of time from liability to justly compensate employees for back pay without having to pay penalties.”

Employers who make the back payments will have a legal defense to claims for damages or other penalties associated with any alleged prior failure to pay what was due for such time.

For employers that are electing to participate, the back payments are required for the time period of July 1, 2012 through December 31, 2015, and must be paid no later than December 15, 2016. Employers who elect to participate also must notify DIR of their decision by Friday, July 1, either by completing the online notification form, or by sending the notification in U.S. mail.

“I encourage employers to take advantage of this safe harbor penalty relief by notifying the department by July 1 of their election to make back payments to affected piece-rate workers,” said Labor Commissioner Julie A. Su. The Labor Commissioner’s Office is a division of the Department of Industrial Relations.

Piece-rate compensation refers to paying an employee a specified sum for completing a particular task or making a particular item, and is generally contrasted with hourly compensation, which pays employees based on hours worked. DIR has posted additional information online on the piece-rate legislation, including detailed FAQs and a fact sheet. Answers to other questions about the new law can be obtained by sending an email to [email protected].

DIR protects and improves the health, safety and economic well-being of over 18 million wage earners, and helps their employers comply with state labor laws.

DIR’s Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE), also known as the Labor Commissioner’s Office, enforces prevailing wage rates and apprenticeship standards in public works projects, inspects workplaces for wage and hour violations, adjudicates wage claims, investigates retaliation complaints, issues licenses and registrations for businesses and educates the public on labor laws.

DALLAS, June 27, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — McDonald’s of Texas announces a new burger – the Lone Star Stack! The new creation includes Texas toast, sweet onion barbeque sauce, two beef patties, grilled onions, Applewood bacon, American and white cheddar cheese, and crinkled pickles.

Lone Star Stack (PRNewsFoto/McDonald's of Texas)

In March, McDonald’s offered Texans the opportunity to create a burger that’s tasty enough to represent the big state and a chance to win $5,000! After more than 25,170 entries and 206,450 votes, it was narrowed down to five tasty creations. A panel of community influencers, McDonald’s Texas owners and employees selected the winning burger.

Joseph Peña, 25, of Houston, designed the winning burger. “I am so thankful to McDonald’s for giving Texans the chance to create a local burger,” said Peña, who admitted he was surprised by the win. 

When asked about the burger, Peña said he can’t wait to see his virtual creation come to life. “I wanted the burger to be as Texas as possible, so Texas toast was a must,” said Peña. From there everything else was really just my personal preference. Turns out the burger I made was almost an exact match to my mom’s burger she cooks at home, so really I owe her all the credit.”

“We wanted to give Texans a burger that truly captures the flavor of our great state. It was also important for us to reach out to our guests and lean on their Texan pride. As you can imagine, most of the creations were spicy, large and, of course, loaded with bacon,” said David Glaser, local McDonald’s Owner. “The McDonald’s Burger Showdown Challenge allowed us to bond with our customers and showcase our high-quality ingredients.”

The Lone Star Stack is in restaurants until August 28, 2016. Markets include: Austin, Beaumont, Bryan College Station, Corpus Christi, Dallas, El Paso, Harlingen, Houston, Laredo, MidlandOdessa, San Antonio and Waco.

2017 Acura NSX Supercar Claims Class Victory in North American Racing Debut at Pikes Peak International Hill Climb

PIKES PEAK, Colo., June 27, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The recently-launched 2017 Acura NSX claimed victory Sunday in its North American racing competition debut, climbing the 14,115-foot pinnacle of Pikes Peak and clinching first place in the Time Attack 2 class at the 2016 Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, the 100th anniversary of the running of America’s second oldest race.

2017 Acura NSX Supercar Claims Class Victory in North American Racing Debut at Pikes Peak International Hill Climb

The production-based Acura NSX is powered by Acura’s revolutionary three-motor Sport Hybrid Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive™ powertrain (Sport Hybrid SH-AWD®), the first electrified torque vectoring powertrain in the world of exotic sports cars. With added required safety equipment for competition, the NSX negotiated the 12.42-mile course in a time of 10:28.820 to win the Time Attack 2 class of the Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. Nick Robinson, North American R&D team member and engineer in charge of the next-generation supercar’s dynamic performance, drove the production-based Acura NSX to victory. Nick is also the reigning PP250 winner from the 2015 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. 

“I’m incredibly happy to have won the Production Class with the new NSX!” Robinson reported. “The hard work the entire development team has put into the NSX over the past few years really paid off.”

Two additional Acura vehicles – the NSX-inspired 4-Motor Acura EV Concept, driven by Tetsuya Yamano, and a modified 2017 Acura NSX, driven by Nick’s brother, James Robinson – also campaigned in the race. Yamano finished second in the Electric Modified class in the NSX-inspired EV, posting a time of 9:06.015 (79.119 mph), which made him the third fastest on the overall charts. The Acura EV Concept’s all-electric SH-AWD® powertrain boasts peak output three times the total system output of the CR-Z prototype that ran last year, featuring a world’s first technology that enables four-wheel independent torque allocation.

“For our new NSX to win one of the most historic and challenging races on the planet in its North American racing debut is a great achievement for everyone involved in creating the American-built supercar,” said Jon Ikeda, vice president and general manager of the Acura Division. “The performance of NSX in this year’s race is a testament to Acura’s Precision Crafted Performance DNA and will serve as a launching pad for future racing endeavors.”

Don’t Let Super Lice Spoil Summer Camp

Tackle lice head-on with Vamousse® for pre-arrival treatment and during-camp defense

MORRISVILLE, N.C., June 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — It is no surprise that summer camp can be a summer home for head lice. With the growing presence of super lice, more camps are performing head checks on registration day to help prevent these unwanted guests. Children who are found to have lice may be delayed from entering while being treated, or potentially sent home. Parents who examine their child at home for lice not only help guard against an infestation, but also save their child the frustration of being diagnosed with lice during camp registration.

“It’s important for parents to know that lice can be present before there are any symptoms such as itching. Exponential growth of an infestation and the transmission of lice to others can occur before there are any telltale signs,” says Jason Schmidt, an entomologist and Director of Product Development for TyraTech, makers of Vamousse. “Catching an outbreak of lice early is vital to helping control the spread of lice.”

The CDC states that there are up to 12 million reported cases of head lice infestation among children 3 to 11 in the United States every year.1 The likelihood of exposure increases at places like school and camp as children share belongings and are in close proximity.

“Prior to dropping kids off at summer camp, parents should do a thorough head-check and if lice are not found consider making a simple switch to a safe, non-toxic shampoo for proactive daily defense against lice. Switching shampoos during and immediately after camp may help reduce risk of an infestation,” says Schmidt.

Defend against the growth of an infestation with a gentle, non-toxic daily lice shampoo such as Vamousse Lice Defense, which kills lice2 and is recommended for use during high-risk periods and for 10 to 14 days after potential exposure. It is pesticide-free and safe enough for use by the entire family, including children as young as two.

If lice are already present, non-toxic, pesticide-free Vamousse Lice Treatment, with active ingredient natrum muriaticum, kills lice and eggs in 1 treatment and is even proven effective against pesticide-resistant super lice3.

Super lice are lice that have developed a genetic resistance to certain pesticide-based ingredients that have been used in traditional over-the-counter (OTC) lice treatments for decades, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)4.  Making matters worse, recent reports have led parents to believe that all OTC products are ineffective against super lice.  The fact is there are OTC products that are proven as an effective, safe and non-toxic option for eliminating super lice.

Vamousse represents a new generation of head lice solutions available over-the-counter (OTC). The unique products give parents an accessible, affordable and effective way to tackle super lice to ensure their child is lice and worry free at summer camp.
