COVID-19 Employer Reporting Form for Outbreak Determination (California SB-1159)
Important Notice: On September 17, 2020, California enacted SB-1159 which imposes certain reporting requirements on California employers. Effective immediately, employers are required to report positive COVID-19 tests to their workers compensation claim administrator, whether there is an allegation the COVID-19 exposure is related to work or not. According to the legislation, an employer who intentionally submits false or misleading information, or fails to submit information when reporting, could be subject to a civil penalty in the amount of up to $10,000, to be assessed by the Labor Commissioner. Additional information can be found HERE.
