Weekly e-News October 10, 2014 Dear Members and Friends: Paid Sick Leave: New Law in California A recently passed law will make California the second state to mandate paid sick leave for many employees. Under the “Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Families Act of 2014”, which goes into effect July 1, 2015, California employers will be required to provide at least three days of paid sick leave each year. This benefit will accrue at a rate of one hour of leave for every 30 hours worked. Paid sick leave laws are a growing trend. In addition to statewide paid sick leave requirements in the states of California and Connecticut, many municipalities, including New York City, Seattle, Jersey City, Newark, San Francisco, San Diego, and Portland, Oregon, have implemented their own paid sick leave requirements. We anticipate several additional municipalities and states to be added to this list in the next few years. There is a lot more that changes this year! Don’t forget to attend Larry Levy’s workshop at the Exchange on 11/5/ 2014 Sign up form in this issue. Members Only – You should have gotten an email on the afternoon of 10/9 with a four page explanation of the new sick leave law and how to comply – If you are a PBX member and did not get this please call the office at 650-591-4486 so we can get your compliance info to you and get you on the mailing list. 81 Bills Followed the Exchange – That’s how many we followed through our lobbyist in 2014 – Some were vetoed, some sort of died in committee and some made it into law. The session is over and Brown has finished signing and vetoing. Some we liked, some we hated and some we didn’t care about. The results are in. On last Sunday all members were sent an email detailing what happened to all 81 and also an analysis of those that made it into law. If you are a PBX member and did not get your email listing all the new laws, please call us at 650- 591-4486 so we can get the list to you and make sure you are on the Members Only Mailing List.

November 22 at Birds Landing – Guide, Dog and BBQ for a morning of fun hunting pheasant and chukar This is a great autumn morning and there is not much better in life than shooting birds over dogs. You don’t have to be a great shot (the dogs do most of the work) and you will see and shoot at lots of birds on this stocked game club. You need a hunting license with a bird stamp and a shotgun (Just about any gauge will work fine ) and a box of shotgun shells. Start at 9:30 and then BBQ at around 1PM. Meanwhile the club cleans your birds and puts them in little plastic bags, so you bring home something that looks like it came from Safeway. If you need to get a hunting license but have never had one before, start now – CA requires a class so you need to get scheduled. Questions? Call Tom at 650-591-4486 and see the flyer to sign up!

Seats about 18 comfortably. 650-591-4486 New Law Requires Free Plan Sets: AB 2036 is a new law which requires that government agencies provide digital plans to local builders exchanges when requested. We, as members of GSBE and in conjunction with the AGC, sponsored this legislation because many jurisdictions were withholding plans from our exchange and some were even trying to charge for digital copies sent by email. Many jurisdictions also use “blueprint services” as the sole method of distribution – which forces contractors to buy printed sets of digital plans. This is good legislation for our members and we are beginning our campaign to make the various state and local agencies aware of the new law, and also asking them to provide us with plans. Over the next several weeks Andrea will contact many local jurisdictions and make a special effort to reach those small water districts and school districts which often go unnoticed. If there are any public agency projects you would like us to get a set of plans for, please contact Andrea at 650-591-4486 and we will request them under AB 2036. We at the Exchange recommend Planswift as the best digital take off program for small to medium sized contractors. We have arranged with Palnswift to give our members a two week trial with telephone support. If you are curious about digital takeoff software – this is the best way to find out if it is right for you.

The Worker's Comp market is changing - State Fund is becoming more competitive. Why is this important? Exchange Members with a good loss history can get a 6% discount (in addition to all other discounts) if they join State Fund Group 826. You can save money. What do I need to do? At the time of quoting or renewing you or your broker need to ask to be put in 826 otherwise they will not put you in a group and you will have to pay more. Be sure you ask for group 826 at the time of getting your quote. What if I am not an Exchange member? If you are not a member you can join when you get the insurance, but you MUST be a member to get the discount. Make sure your broker considers State Fund Group 826. Here is some background: The workers' comp market changes every few years. We are beginning another period of dramatic change. State Fund Workers Compensation Insurance is becoming much more competitive as other insurers raise their rates or leave the California market. This trend will likely continue for the rest of the decade. Not a member? You can join before you get the insurance – Use the Membership Application in this Issue. Questions?
