SCS/HCS/HB 1883 - Public and private employers are barred from terminating an employee in relation to the employee's activation to a national disaster response by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Employers may charge against the employee's regular pay, any time lost due to the activation and may request a written statement documenting the response to the emergency. Employees shall make reasonable efforts to notify the employer that he or she may be absent or late. The act bars employers from requiring their employees to have personal identification microchip technology implanted into employees for any reason. The Federal overtime standards in place before the passage of Proposition B (2006) are reinstated. Under the act, all rights to unaccrued compensation for permanent total disability shall cease upon the death of the injured employee. Unpaid unaccrued compensation for permanent partial disability will continue to be paid to dependents. (These sections carry an emergency clause) This act is similar to SB 606 (2007), SB 901 (2008), SB 1164 (2008), SB 1241 (2008), HB 2308 (2008), HB 2309 (2008), HB 2311 (2008), SB 255 (2007), SB 249 (2007), SB 279 (2007), SB 782 (2008), SB 1007 (2008), HB 1424 (2008), HB 1439 (2008), HB 2041 (2008), and HB 1581 (2008).
