The New Year is ringing in changes at the Club
January 1st 2020 brought some major changes in California employment laws and regulations. Now all management employees earning less than $55,000 a year are to be paid overtime (time and a half) for every minute over 8 hours that they work in a day. Along with the increase in minimum wage, this is going to have a significant financial impact upon the Club. We try to maximise staff time for when members are at the Club, and therefore our staff finish work when the Club closes - 6pm at Bijou and 6.30pm at main site. When parents are late it greatly impacts the staff who have to stay to supervise the member and ensure that they are picked up safely. And from January 1st, we will also have to pay that staff overtime.
