Currently pending before the California Senate is SB 1044, a bill that would allow employees to refuse to come to work, or to walk off the job, whenever they feel unsafe or whenever there is a declared state of emergency. The bill also would prohibit employers from preventing employees from using their mobile devices during an emergency. The most recent amendments to the bill partially address employer concerns about the scope of the bill. Nevertheless, the bill would create an additional exception to at-will employment and has been labeled a “job-killer” by the California Chamber of Commerce.
The key provisions of the bill are as follows:
In the event of a state of emergency or an emergency condition, an employer shall not do either of the following:
(1) Take or threaten adverse action against any employee refusing to report to, or leaving, a workplace within the affected area because the employee feels unsafe.
(2) Prevent any employee from accessing the employee’s mobile device or other communications device for seeking emergency assistance, assessing the safety of the situation, or communicating with a person to verify their safety.
