Operative words

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and 'Safer at Home' declarations by California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti... Workers at the Airport, in the Hospitality Industry and those who provide services to Commercial Property are especially impacted by worker lay-offs as a result of the pandemic because travel has been severely halted and businesses in the industry cannot easily adjust to the lack of patronage during the crisis. The Stay-At-Home Orders have severely impacted Commercial Property services as many offices and stores are closed.... SEC. 200.32. RIGHT OF RECALL. A. Priority for Laid Off Workers. An Employer shall make the offer to a Laid Off Worker [of any position that becomes available after the effective date] for which the Laid Off Worker is qualified... B. Time Limit. A Laid Off Worker who is offered a position pursuant to this article shall be given no less than five (5) business days in which to accept or decline

Enforcement

Civil action by the Laid Off Worker: hiring and reinstatement, back pay, statutory damages, attorneys' fees (sec. 200.34); no criminal penalties

Notes

Legislative finding by the City that the stay-at-home orders 'severely impacted' commercial property services, hospitality and airport employers
