Wage Law

Another wage and hour bill passed in 2008 was AB 2537 (Furutani - Public works: exemption: volunteers), Chapter 678, Statutes of 2008.

This bill extends, until January 1, 2012, the exclusion from the application of the law governing "public works," any work performed by a volunteer, a volunteer coordinator, or by members of the California Conservation Corps or of certified Community Conservation Corps, thus allowing volunteers to continue contributing their labor to public works projects under specified limitations.  This bill also requires the Director of Industrial Relations to submit a written report containing information regarding volunteers on public works projects, as specified, to the Legislature by January 1, 2011.
