Felicia Reid Comments to San Francisco Business Times on CA Supreme Court “Right to Rest” Decision
Felicia Reid is quoted in the San Francisco Business Times article titled, “Employers win flexibility in California Supreme Court ruling on ‘right to rest’ employment law case.” The piece details the Supreme Court of California decision in the matter Mendoza v. Nordstrom. The core question the court was considering was whether the state’s “day of rest” statue, which provides employees one day’s rest in seven days and bars employees from working six-out-of-seven days, prescribed that employees were due rest for each work week, or on a 7-day rolling basis. The court ruled that the standard was each work week, clearing up a concern for the state’s employers and giving them more scheduling flexibility.
