New Workplace Rights! SB 399 Bans Captive Audience Meetings

Watch this 1-minute video

California’s SB 399 is a groundbreaking law that protects employees from being forced to attend captive audience meetings promoting religious or political views.

What is SB 399?

Key Protections Under SB 399:

  • Employees can opt out of these meetings without consequences.
  • Workers must still be paid for their time, even if they choose not to attend.
  • Employers cannot retaliate or discriminate against those who opt out.

Penalties for Non-Compliance

Starting January 1, 2025, businesses must comply with SB 399, or they could face:

  • Fines of $500 per violation
  • Potential employee lawsuits

This law isn’t just about compliance—it’s about fostering respect, trust, and fairness in the workplace. Click the link for more information on SB 399 and more!
