California Attorney Discusses Los Angeles Hotel Worker Protection Ordinance

In an interview with Law360, Ben Ebbink shares his insight on the Los Angeles Hotel Worker Protection Ordinance. The law requires hotels with 45 or more guest rooms to pay housekeepers double for all hours worked in a day when they clean more than 4,000 square feet, and hotels with at least 60 guest rooms to pay double after 3,500 square feet. The law is meant to address worker safety and wage and hour issues impacting workers in the hospitality industry.

Similar laws are popping up in major cities across the country and Ben explains how even subtle differences between the various hotel worker laws can make compliance challenging for employers operating in multiple jurisdictions.
