	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Alejo

                        FEBRUARY 14, 2014

   An act to amend Section 2923 of the Labor Code, relating to
employment.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1746, as introduced, Alejo. Employment: death or incapacity of
employer.
   Existing law generally requires an employee to continue his or her
service after notice of the death or incapacity of his or her
employer, as necessary to protect from serious injury the interests
of the employer's successor in interest, until a reasonable time
after notice of the facts has been communicated to that successor.
Existing law requires the successor to compensate the employee for
his or her service according to the terms of the contract of
employment.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those
provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 2923 of the Labor Code is amended to read:

death or incapacity of his  or her  employer,  so
far  as  is  necessary to protect from
serious injury the interests of the employer's successor in interest,
until a reasonable time after notice of the facts has been
communicated to  such   that  successor.
The successor shall compensate the employee for  such
  his or her  service according to the terms of the
