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.

Hunting Trip November 22
Chukar are giant quail
Pheasant Hunting and also Chukar! 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!

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.
To get your free trial please use the following link:

A Chance to Save
Money on Workers
Comp Insurance
What’s Happening? 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? Call Tom at the Exchange - 650-591-4486

6 Nights – 1 Bedroom Ocean View Suite
$1649.00 per person – double occupancy ONLY ONE SPOT AVAILABLE
Includes - Air* (Alaska direct NON stop), Airport Transfers, Hotel, Food and Beverage**, Taxes and Gratuity
Spectacularly flanked by the vibrant blue waters of the Pacific Ocean and the verdanant tropical forests of the Sierra Madre mountains, Garza Blanca Preserve Resort & Spa nestles gracefully just minutes south of historic old town Puerto Vallarta, one of Mexico’s most dynamic and sophis cated vaca on des na ons. Garza Blanca Beach is considered by both visitors and locals to be one of the most beau ful beaches on Banderas Bay. In contrast to the charming yellow sandy beaches that abound in Puerto Vallarta, Garza Blanca’s sand is white and so like talcum powder, which makes the dancing hues of the ocean appear turquoise and crystal clear. The clear, clean water of the sea at Garza Blanca makes snorkeling from the water’s edge a family aﬀair and you can see colorful fish and crustaceans without going too deep. In addi on to a roped oﬀ area for swimming, the sandy white beach is also protected on either side by natural rocky je es that provide habitat to marine life that you can contemplate with snorkels. Garza Blanca Preserve Resort & Spa provides non motorized water equipment for guests to use at no cost, such as paddle boards, kayaks, boogie boards and so on. Guest who are interested may even join the paddle board instructor for a lesson or two. Guests that like to do yoga can also join the resident yoga teacher on the beach for a class or media on.
