TVCC Takes Action
on May 19 Special Election Propositions
The Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce released its positions
on the May 19, 2009 Special Election ballot propositions. The ballot
propositions are part of the 2009-2010 state budget agreement between
the Governor and Legislature designed to help balance the state budget
through various increase in length of time of taxes, shifting of former
voter-approved propositions and borrowing of funds from future
state lottery revenues. Also included is a savings account for the state,
also known as the “Rainy Day Fund” that will be solidified only if tax
increases that started April 1 are allowed to be extended.
“Our positions represent action we have taken to protect our business
community against the extending of time the tax increases will be in effect
as we believe the Legislature and Governor need to find other solutions
that do not involve taxing our community,” stated Alice Sullivan,
President/CEO of the Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce. “We
believe the state has a spending problem and needs to balance the budget
based on current revenue trends just as all businesses do when faced with
declining revenues,” continued Sullivan.
Proposition 1A –
“Rainy Day” Budget Stabilization Fund
Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce Position: OPPOSE
Proposition 1C will allow the State to immediately borrow $5 billion from
future protected State Lottery revenue in order to balance the current
State Budget deficit. The changes could increase lottery ticket sales and
allow the state to borrow $5 billion from future lottery profits.
Proposition 1C involves selling an asset (future lottery profits) to
investors through a bond transaction by converting a stream of future
annual payments into a “lump sum.” This type of borrowing – referred
to as securitization – is somewhat different from most other types of
state borrowing in that it involves no legal commitment to use General
Fund tax revenues to pay investors.
Proposition 1D –
Children’s Services Funding
Proposition 1D temporarily redirects a portion of excess funds from a
prior voter-approved tobacco tax to the general fund in providing for
more flexibility of shifting funds to balance the state budget.
Proposition 1A would stabilize long-term budget spending by limiting
of the state’s spending based on 10-year revenue trends. It creates a
Budget Stabilization Fund, also known as a “Rainy Day” fund, which
will allow the State of California to save when the economy is prospering
and therefore can be used when the economy is in a decline.
This would achieve state savings of up to $608 million in 2009 and
$268 million annually from 2010 – 2014.
As of April 1, 2009 several categories of taxes increased based on the
budget agreement in February. The passage of Proposition 1A only
allows the length of time of the tax increases to be extended, not the
actual amount of tax. The tax increases would be extended for one or
two additional years depending on the particular tax. It is estimated that
State tax revenues would increase by about $16 billion.
The following tax increase extensions will only go into effect if
Proposition 1A passes:
The sales tax increase of 1 % would be extended for one year through
2011 – 2012.
The Vehicle License Fee (VLF) tax increase would be extended for two
years through 2012 – 2013 from .65% to 1.15%.
The personal income tax-related increases would be extended for two
more years, through the 2012 tax year.
Proposition 1b –
Education Funding. Payment Plan
Proposition 1B would modify how voter-approved revenue for
education could be used to balance the state budget. The State would be
allowed to borrow from the education fund in order to give flexibility
for balancing the state budget. In return, Proposition 1B ensures that
the schools would be paid back over time starting in 2011.
Payments to schools will come out of the newly created Budget
Stabilization Fund as outlined in Proposition 1A. In order for the
funding guarantees in Proposition 1B to take place, Proposition 1A
would also need to be passed.
pg4
Proposition 1C –
Lottery Modernization Act
May/June 2009 | Temecula Today
Proposition 1E –
Mental Health Funding Budget
Proposition 1E temporarily redirects funds from the Mental Health
Services Act to fund children’s health programs that are at risk of
elimination due to the budget crisis, including health care screening,
diagnosis and treatment.
Similar to Proposition 1D in that it allows once again more general
flexibility of shifting funds from voter-approved funding measures in
order to help balance the budget. Proposition 1D and Proposition 1E
are consider short term fixes.
Proposition 1F –
Elected Officials’ Salaries
Proposition 1F amends the State Constitution to prevent the California
Citizens Compensation Commission from increasing the annual
salaries of State elected officials when the state General Fund is expected
to end the year with a deficit.

TVCC Fights To Open New Hospital
Rancho Springs Medical CenteR
The Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce through their
regional advocacy coalition, the Southwest California Legislative
Council (SWCLC), delivered to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s
Riverside Office over 1,500 letters from concerned business and
community members urging the Governor to help open Rancho
Springs Hospital in Murrieta. The effort was initiated by SWCLC on
its advocacy based web site that asked its members to sign on and send
letters addressing the stalled opening of the hospital. The Chamber
also worked with the city and its surrounding area legislators to help
draw public support for the effort.
but unable to provide much needed medical services to an already
statistically proven underserved population. The opening of the
hospital would create much needed jobs in the area and provide
unparallel care for residents throughout the community.
Log on to www.SouthwestCA.biz for more information and how
you can participate in the advocacy efforts of the Temecula Valley
Chamber of Commerce.
“We are drawing attention to the process by which hospitals have to
experience in order to open and the arbitrary requirements made by
multiple agencies that has allowed for the delay of Rancho Springs
Hospital,” stated Alice Sullivan, President/CEO of the Temecula
Valley Chamber of Commerce. “We are hoping our efforts here will
pay off as we prepare to permit and license our own new hospital in
Temecula, stated Sullivan.
The Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development
(OSHPD) and the California Department of Health Services
(CDPH) are responsible for reviewing and approving applications
to construct and license new healthcare facilities in California. The
letters addressed to the Governor, ask that the he intervene and urge
the responsible agencies to work with the operators of the hospital
to find a solution to the slow and mundane permitting process. The
Chamber also makes it clear that it is not urging the Governor to side
step any policies or natural steps in the process – just help to ensure
the agencies are acting in good faith to help open the hospital.
In early November 2008, Rancho Springs Medical Center
completed a $53,000,000 state of the art expanded hospital facility;
almost five months after completion Rancho Springs still has not
received final approval licensing to open the facility. The completed
facility is staffed with 60 medical professionals including nurses,
nurse practitioners, and physicians, along with a new Emergency
Department, Women’s Unit, and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit,

Reminder: Form I-9 Changes Went Into Effect
April 3, 2009
Employers, I feel your pain. You’ve just opened another piece of
mail from some regulatory agency forcing you to comply with yet
another new regulation. If you feel a migraine coming on you’re not
alone, so let me be brief and keep your head from exploding.
And finally, passports from Micronesia or the Marshall Islands must
be accompanied with Forms I-94 or I-94A.
Effective April 3, 2009, all employers must begin using the new
U.S. Customs and Immigration Service I-9 forms to verify employee
eligibility. No longer will an employer be able to use expired
documents to verify employment eligibility.
Hopefully your migraine has subsided somewhat.
As many employers already know the I-9 forms list the section
documents that can be used for verification. Well, several new forms
have been added to “List A” of identifying documentation.
Employers can no longer use Employment Authorization Document
forms I-688, I-688A or I-688B.
By
Vikita Poindexter, SPHR
Poindexter Consulting Group
(951) 926-9069
One of those documents is Passport Cards. It’s the U.S. alternatives
to passports that the U.S. State Department started issuing in
2008.
Employers can now use passports issued by foreign countries, which
contain a permanent residence notation printed on a machinereadable immigration visa.

2009 Brings New Legal Challenges for Employers
Are you Prepared?
Vikita Poindexter, Poindexter Consulting Group
It’s not easy being an employer in California. Disgruntled
employees and their big shot lawyers bend the legal system in ways
totally unimaginable to the average employer to extract revenge,
even when it’s unwarranted. These lawyers are often preaching to
sympathetic California jurors famous for their generosity to fired
employees. Creative interpretation of state law is an art form in
California leaving all employers at the mercy of ever-higher jury
awards, even if the employer is in total compliance with federal
laws. Make even one little employment mistake, and in this era
of gotcha journalism your organization is plastered all over the
evening news or in the local fish wrap. Here’s why; attorneys used
to be satisfied with suing employers under well defined federal
laws like the ADA, FLSA (Fair Labors Standards Act) and the
FMLA. Not so any more. In steps California with even stricter
compliance standards than the federal government. That’s fertile
ground for a creative legal mind to find a reason to sue.
And just when you think it couldn’t get any worse here comes
2009 and a whole new set of challenges for the employer. Yes,
you guessed it another round of new laws to further protect
that disgruntled employee. How can an employer stay on top
of the constant changes in the law?
In an already tough economic climate one innocent mistake
and you could be adding your name to the ever-increasing
unemployment rolls. Are you prepared? As an employer you
must remain vigilant to protect yourself from what you may think
are frivolous lawsuits. Trust me, the people who are filing these
lawsuits don’t think they’re frivolous and neither should you no
matter how unwarranted they appear on the surface.
While 2008 saw just a handful of new state laws—it was eventful
on several legal fronts. It saw the passage of a bill making
massive changes to the Americans with Disabilities Act, a
historic economic bailout bill contained some workplacerelated provisions that you might not be aware of, a landmark
law barring genetic discrimination, and changes to family
and medical leave rights. The California and United States
pg 10
Supreme Courts were busy, too, issuing a range of decisions affecting
employers concerning non-compete agreements, age discrimination,
medical marijuana, and retaliation.
Here is a list of new changes impacting employers for 2009
• The ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA)— one of the most
sweeping pieces of employment legislation in the past decade
• The newly amended California overtime exemption for certain
computer software professionals
• The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA)—
designed to curb the abuse of genetic information by employers
and insurers
• The two new types of workplace leave for family members of
military personnel
• The Financial Bailout Act of 2008 and its changes to employersponsored healthcare plans
• SB 28: Don’t text and Drive
• AB 10: Computer Professional Exemption
• AB 2075: Limitations on Wage Releases
• SB 940: Payment for Temporary Services
• Usage of medical marijuana as a protected class
• Mandatory Paid Sick leave
• Rollback of 2004 Workers’ Compensation Reform
• Legislation further limiting designation of individual as
independent contactor
• Amendments to ADA
• Increase Minimum Wage to $9.50 in 2011
• Applying FMLA to employers with 25 or more employees
• I9 Changes effective April 3, 2009 just to name a few

Wage and Hour Case Update - The Trilogy Continues
Brinker and Brinkley: The Saga Continues
Brinkley v. Public Storage, Inc., which held that employers are
required merely to provide employees with meal and rest periods,
not ensure that employees actually take them.
The Brinkley decision came on the heels of a Division of Labor
Standards Enforcement memo adopting the rationale of the
appellate court in Brinker Restaurant Court v. Superior Court
— which, like Brinkley, held that employers do not have a duty to
ensure that employees take their meal and rest periods.
Meal and rest period ambiguity got you down? Last September, the
California Supreme Court agreed to review the Brinker decision. And
now, it has also decided to review Brinkley—which means that you cannot
rely on either Brinker or Brinkley for guidance until the Supreme Court
has issued its rulings in these cases. The Court is schedule to begin
reviewing Brinker sometime this week. Given the uncertainty surrounding
meal and rest periods, employers should err on the side of caution by
strictly following meal and rest period rules, implementing a clear meal
and rest period policy, and by diligently ensuring that employees clock
in and out for their meal periods. It is imperative that if an employee
works 5 hours or more that they are entitled to a 30 minute unpaid meal
period. Timekeeping procedures are critical in fending off any FLSA
claim. (Fair Labors and Standards Act) An employee needs to clock in
for the day, out for lunch, back in from lunch, and out for the day. Now
that you are thoroughly confused, let’s make it even more complicated…
Anyone who deals with payroll has probably gotten a headache
or two trying to understand out how bonuses figure into overtime
calculations. Under both state and federal law, non-discretionary
bonuses must be included in an employee’s “regular rate of pay” in
order to calculate overtime pay. Unfortunately, differences between
federal regulations and California law have long made determining
the regular rate a confusing process. A recent California appeals court
decision provides some guidance for employers—well, sort of.
951.704.6896
www.pearpr.com
In Marin v. Costco Wholesale Corp, employees brought a class
action lawsuit alleging that Costco’s method for including bonuses
in overtime calculations violated California law. Costco rewarded
its long-term employees with semi-annual bonuses, provided that
the employee remained in Costco’s employment at bonus time and
had worked at least 1,000 hours in the six months preceding the
bonus cutoff date. Because the bonuses were paid semi-annually,
the overtime calculation pay-rate had to be done retroactively when
the bonuses were paid, as required by state and federal law, rather
than for each employee’s weekly paycheck.
Obama’s First Move—Signing Equal Pay Bill
On January 29, 2009, President Barack Obama, in his first official
bill signing, signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act into law. This law
essentially makes the practice of gender-based pay discrimination illegal.
You can bet some attorney in California is chomping at the bit to
bring the first case on pay discrimination to court. Keep in mind
we have a new administration and a new attorney general who has
pledged to fight this and other forms of discrimination. If its been
elevated to a prominent position in the U.S. Attorney General’s
office, you can bet state and local authorities will have their eye on
it as well. The burden is now on you the employer to prove that
pay disparities are not gender based and prohibits retaliation against
employees who raise pay discrimination complaints. In dealing with
ANY employment issue, follow the time tested philosophy that an
“ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

Claims Management
Time is Money
When an employee is injured at work, your business goals and those
of your insurance company coincide. This ensures that the injured
employee is receiving the best possible medical treatment and returns
to work as soon as possible. These mutual goals help control claim costs
and ultimately the rates you pay for workers’ compensation coverage.
Reporting an employee injury as soon as you become aware of it is a
key factor to controlling claim costs. Studies show that claims reported
immediately to the insurance company had settlement costs significantly
lower than those in which reporting was delayed.
Managing the Employee Injury
Managing an employee injury begins the moment the employer gains
knowledge that an employee was injured, or may have been injured
at work. Workers’ compensation regulations establish specific
timeframes that employers and insurance companies must follow.
Regulations define the employer as not just the business owner(s);
the employer can also be a manager, supervisor or anyone holding
a position of authority in the business. When the employer learns
of an employee injury or alleged injury, the “clock starts ticking”
for specific actions that must be taken. The employer can learn or
gain knowledge of the injury directly from the employee, fellow
employee, family member, or medical facility.
Once you have knowledge of a work related injury, you have one
business day to give the employee an Employee Claim for Workers’
Compensation Benefit form (Form DWC-1), or mail the form to the
employee’s mailing address. You have five business days to report
the injury or illness to the insurance company, but the sooner the
injury is reported the better. It’s important that you inform and
train managers and supervisors about the claims reporting process.
When a Work Injury Occurs
When an employee is injured at work, follow these steps:
1. Initiate medical treatment. Transport the employee to the nearest
hospital or medical facility if appropriate. An injured employee
should never drive himself or herself to the hospital or clinic. For
emergency or life threatening injuries, immediately call 9-1-1.
In non-emergency situations, initiate first aid treatment if necessary
and work with your insurance company to find the nearest medical
provider, preferably one that is in the insurance company’s Medical
Provider Network (MPN)*.
*If your insurance company has a Medical Provider Network you are
required to give the employee a second copy of the carrier’s MPN
handbook at the time of the injury.
2. Call your workers’ compensation insurance company to report all
work-related injuries and complete the Employers First Report of
Injury form (Form 5020). If the injury appears to be a first aid only
injury, tell your insurance company when reporting the claim.
3. Provide the injured worker an Employee’s Claim for Workers’
Compensation Benefit form (Form DWC-1).
4. Report to Cal-OSHA Enforcement within eight hours of
occurrence, all fatalities, amputation of a body part, disfigurement,
or injury/illness requiring hospitalization for more than 24-hours
for anything other than observation. Failure to report an injury may
result in a $5,000 fine.
5. Start planning for your employee’s return to regular or modified
work and stay in contact with your claim representative.
Selecting an insurance company that is financially secure, specializes
in workers’ compensation and is knowledgeable of California’s
insurance environment can reduce the anxiety and stress that can
follow an employee injury. These companies generally have a
disciplined approach to workers’ compensation that is evidenced by
strong relationships with medical providers, comprehensive injury
management procedures--and most importantly, communication
with you, the injured employee and medical provider.
A quality insurance company should also be able to provide you with
effective safety and health services to help you prevent employee
injuries, and assist with returning injured employees to work when
medically appropriate.
To obtain a free five-step injury reporting poster, please call (888)
656-5678.

I’ll Go Tomorrow…
Travis A. Underwood B.S. Physical Education
In regards to children, fitness and overall wellness is a big concern. Recent
studies show that 50% of children are overweight and/or obese. But, we
don’t really need these scientific reasons to take action, fitness and health
needs to be a part of the day-today lives of everyone—even children. Make
healthy habits into a lifelong lifestyle change. The challenge is discipline
and not letting your busy schedules compromise your families’ health.
Schedule it
It is recommended, children participate in 60 minutes of vigorous
physical activity 3-4 times per week. An adequate VIGOROUS children’s fitness program should include four out of five components:
Cardio-Respiratory, Muscular Strength, Flexibility, Muscular Endurance, and Body Composition.
This tip is two-fold: 1.) by telling your friends you can create a carpool to and from the fitness center, park, etc., and the kids get to
work-out with their friends. 2.) when you tell a friend they tend to
ask questions, and this will help to remind you and your family the
importance of regular exercise and health.
A child who participates in a VIGOROUS fitness program, as listed above,
has increased self-esteem, sports performance & improved overall health.
Piggy Back it
Please consider the following tips when making a conscientious effort in including health and fitness into your families’ busy day-today schedules/lives.
Make Fitness a Priority in Your Family
It is important that your family takes fitness seriously. As humans,
we were made to move and be active. Without regular fitness sessions,
our body becomes susceptible to various diseases and disorders.
Schedule time throughout the week for your child to exercise. After
30 days, fitness will become habit and much easier to incorporate
into you and your child’s life.
Spread the Word
Parents who belong to adult athletic clubs may want to drop off their
child at a local youth fitness center, so now both parents and children are getting their workouts. When selecting a youth fitness center, be sure that all instructors are certified to work with children
and the equipment is suitable for children.
Remember, focus on total health improvement and instilling lifelong habits; body composition/image should not be a priority, as it
can have adverse psychological effects.

Creating a Personal Paradise
Today, people are in need of “personal paradises” in their
homes more than ever. We understand the desire to create
outdoor living spaces and approach the challenge uniquely: we start by taking digital photos of a yard, then invite the
customer to our large nursery where the “tour” becomes an
experience even the kids won’t forget! Like a theme park
tram, a knowledgeable “guide” drives you through wooded
countryside, complete with a running stream and peacocks,
and notes plant preferences. The tour isn’t complete without
sampling fruit right off the orchard’s trees. COMPUTER PROBLEMS?

Afterwards, by customizing the photos taken, an individualized
design is created. After placing that “perfect” tree, adding sod,
patios and planting beds, we show the potential that every yard
has! We offer concrete, stone & paver patios, water features,
decorative walls, and more. Using a sophisticated landscape
design program, we present what the yard looks like now and
what it COULD look like after working with us. Customers appreciate our process because you never have
to worry you will look into your neighbor’s yard and see the
same design. As a bonus, we are a family owned and operated
business and customers come to feel like family too.
