SB 723: Extended Recall Rights for Hospitality Workers

SB 723: Extension of the Right to Recall in the Hospitality Sector

The California legislature has made further amendments to Labor Code 2810.8 through SB 723. Originally brought into effect by SB 93 of 2021, this provision aimed at safeguarding hospitality employees' right to be recalled to their jobs after being laid off due to circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic. With the introduction of SB 723, the original end date for these rights, previously set at December 31, 2024, has now been extended by a year to December 31, 2025. This ensures that affected hospitality workers have an extended timeframe for potential reemployment in their prior roles.
