Summary

Existing law permits state agencies to enter into personal services contracts with firms when certain conditions are met. These conditions include requiring a state agency that enters into a personal services contract for janitorial and housekeeping services, custodians, food service workers, laundry workers, window cleaners, and security guards to include provisions for employee wages that are valued at least 85% of the state's cost of wages provided to state employees performing similar duties. Existing law provides for criminal and civil penalties for violations of specified statutes regarding payment of wages. This bill would require the Department of Industrial Relations to, by January 1, 2020, and annually thereafter, develop a list of eligible employers that the department determines are valued at least $1,000,000,000. The bill would require an eligible employer that enters into a personal services contract, as defined, on or after January 1, 2020, to include a provision in that contract that requires the employees that will perform the services in that contract to be paid a wage that is equal to an unspecified amount. By expanding the scope of an existing crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
