<\/div>\n

?In June, Los Angeles passed an ordinance designed to increase safety protections for hotel workers, limit daily workload, and raise hotel worker wages in the city. The new ordinance took effect on Aug. 12.<\/p>\n

Under the ordinance, a hotel employer must place on the back of the entrance door to each guest room and restroom facility a hotel sign written in a font size of no less than 18 points that includes the heading “The Law Protects Hotel Workers From Threatening Behavior.”<\/p>\n

Moreover, hotel employers must provide written notice of the rights set out in the ordinance to each hotel worker at the time of hire or within 30 days of the effective date of the ordinance.<\/p>\n

The City of Los Angeles Office of Wage Standards has posted model notices in both English and Spanish, which can be posted and provided to employees. <\/p>\n
