Senate Committee Focuses on Underground Economy and Work Comp

Christine Baker, who was recently appointed to serve as director of the Department of Industrial Relations pending Senate confirmation, testified during a Dec. 5 hearing of the Select Committee of the California state Senate Business and the Underground Economy that Gov. Jerry Brown has made it a top priority to drive out employers who ignore labor laws and regulations.

“Lack of workers’ compensation coverage is a good indicator that a business may be cheating and taking an unfair competitive advantage of those who do provide coverage and who are op-erating in compliance with the law,” Baker said.

Brown signed legislation on Oct. 9 authorizing fines of $500 to $15,000 per violation for willfully classifying an employee as an independent con-tractor. The bill allows civil penalties of $10,000 to $25,000 for a pattern of willful misclassifica-tion.

Baker said a collaborative effort between her department, the Employment Development De-partment and the Workers’ Compensation Insur-ance Rating Bureau is paying off.

Baker said 479 of 1,498 employers -- about 31% of those randomly selected for review by the Em-ployment Development Department this year -- did not have workers’ compensation insurance for their employees. Further review found that 80 of the employers actually did have a policy and an additional 45 purchased insurance after receiving a notification from the department.

Baker said the department issued 56 citations against employers who had no workers’ com-pensation insurance and against 46 employ-ers who let the coverage lapse. Fines totaled $400,958, Baker said.

The department will continue to randomly iden-tify employers to review, but will focus heavily on new employers and those in the construc-tion, agriculture and restaurant industries in 2012, Baker said.

Starting in January, computer monitoring of pay-roll information reported to the state will also be used to identify employers who are using more workers than they claimed when purchasing a policy or who are logging more work hours than are being reported. Computer monitoring should also help identify businesses that need to be investigated, sparing headaches for good employers, Baker said.

Bruce Wick, director of risk management for the California Professional Association of Specialty Contractors, testified that sweeps focusing on all contractors in a specific geographic area in-herently “pick on some very good employers and waste their time.” He said he sup-ports the idea of using a computer system to identify “red

The head of the California Department of Industrial Relations says compliance with work-ers’ compensation insurance requirements is one of the best tools for driving the so-called underground economy out of California, and she plans to step up efforts to catch violators next year.

SAFE LIFTING TECHNIQUES

Back injuries account for about one in every five job-related injuries in California workplaces. Disabling back injuries are no laughing matter for workers who lose time from work or from personal activities. The sad truth is that most of the pain and lost time can been prevented if you are aware of how the back functions and how to lift safely to protect your back.

The back is a network of fragile ligaments, discs, and muscles which can easily be thrown out of order. The back’s complex design breaks down when it’s forced to perform activities it was not designed to do. Lifting with the back twisted or bent just begs for a pulled muscle or ruptured disc. One sure way to risk injuring the back is to lift heavy or bulky loads improperly or unassisted. Never be afraid to ask for help with loads that you know you cannot lift safely. Lift with good sense and a little extra help from a co-worker or mechanical aid when necessary.

If you decide you are capable of lifting a light load, make sure you lift correctly.

Move in so that your feet are close to the base of the object to be lifted. Face the object squarely. Bend your knees and squat over the item to be lifted. In this position, the back gets added lifting

strength and power from the legs and arms. Move up close to the item, because the backbone must act as a supporting column, and it takes the least strain close in. Tilt the item on edge with its long axis straight up so that the center of the weight is as high as possible above the ground. Still squatting, the feet should be set with legs pointed right at the load, with the back straightened, the worker may then grasp

the load with both arms and slowly stand up with it, pushing up with the leg muscles. If you can’t lift slowly, you can’t lift safely.

A good way to learn the right from the wrong way to lift is to practice lifting correctly a few times. You will notice that the correct way to lift is the easiest way to lift the load, with the least strain and awkwardness. To lift the wrong way will, over time, cause injury and pain. The back can be damaged quickly but can take a long time to heal.

TÉCNICAS PARA LEVANTAR OBJETOS PESADOS

Las lesiones de la espalda constituyen una de cada cinco lesiones relacionadas con el trabajo en California. Las lesiones a la espalda que resultan en incapacidad no son chiste para los trabajadores que pierden horas de trabajo o de actividades personales. La triste verdad es que la mayoría del dolor y el tiempo perdido pueden evitarse si se sabe cómo funciona la espalda y cómo levantar de forma segura los objetos pesados para protegerse la espalda.

La espalda es una red frágil de ligamentos, discos y músculos que pueden lastimarse con facilidad. El diseño complejo de la espalda deja de funcionar correctamente cuando se le fuerza a ejecutar actividades para las cuales no ha sido diseñada. Levantar objetos pesados con la espalda doblada es una forma fácil de estirarse un músculo o romperse un disco de la columna vertebral. Una manera sin falla de lastimarse la espalda es levantar un objeto pesado o voluminoso incorrectamente o sin ayuda. Nunca tenga temor de pedir ayuda para levantar objetos que usted sabe que no es capaz de levantar en forma segura por sí solo. Levante los objetos pesados aplicando el buen juicio y con la ayuda de un compañero de trabajo o ayuda mecánica cuando sea necesario.

Si usted decide que es capaz de levantar una carga ligera, asegúrese de levantarla de la forma correcta.

Colóquese de manera que tenga los pies cercanos a la base del objeto a levantar. Sitúese directamente de cara al objeto. Doble las rodillas y haga cuclillas sobre el objeto a levantar. En esta posición, la

espalda recibe la potencia de izar adicional que le brindan las piernas y los brazos. Colóquese cerca del objeto, porque la columna vertebral debe funcionar como una columna de apoyo, y estando cerca del

objeto recibe menos esfuerzo. Gire el objeto hasta tener el eje longitudinal vertical para que el centro de gravedad esté lo más alto posible sobre el suelo. Aún de cuclillas, los pies y las piernas deben estar apuntando a la carga, con la espalda recta, el trabajador debe sujetar la

carga con ambos brazos y pararse lentamente, haciendo la fuerza con los músculos de las piernas. Si no se levanta lentamente, no se está levantando de manera segura.

Una buena manera de diferenciar entre el método correcto y los incorrectos de levantar es practicar la forma correcta varias veces. Observará que con el método correcto es más fácil levantar la carga, con el menor esfuerzo y menos torpeza. Con el tiempo, el levantar objetos pesados incorrectamente puede ocasionar lesiones y dolor. La espalda se puede lastimar en un instante y tomar mucho tiempo para sanar.

State UI Fund Debt Leads to Higher Federal Tax on EmployersAbsent an act of Congress, California employ-ers will be paying higher taxes starting January 1, 2012 because the state has not repaid money it borrowed from the federal government to pay unemployment insurance (UI) benefits.

The tax increase amounts to $21 per year for any employee who makes $7,000 or more in 2012. California employers pay UI taxes on the first $7,000 of wages per employee.

Statewide, the tax increase amounts to an esti-mated $289.8 million in 2012 and $615.7 million in 2013, according to the California Employment Development Department (EDD) October 2011 Unemployment Insurance Fund Forecast. This represents a loss of 0.3% of the federal tax credit in 2011 and 0.6% in 2012. These additional taxes paid will offset California’s federal loan balance.

Federal Requirements

State laws must meet certain federal require-

ments for employers to qualify for credits against the tax imposed under the Federal Unemploy-ment Tax Act (FUTA).

Due to California’s outstanding loan balances, the U.S. Department of Labor has notified the Internal Revenue Service and the EDD that Cali-fornia is a “credit reduction state.”

California has carried an outstanding loan bal-ance for two years in a row.

Therefore, the FUTA credit for California employ-ers will decrease from 5.4% to 5.1% on January 1, 2012, a 0.3% credit reduction, according to the EDD website Employers will use IRS Schedule A (Form 940), Part 2, to calculate the FUTA tax, EDD reports.

State UI Fund Insolvency

The unemployment rate in California has been consistently higher than the U.S. rate for some

time. October unemployment in California was 11.7% versus 9% for the United States, accord-ing to EDD. The October unemployment rate was a slight drop from the 11.9% EDD reported for September, and an improvement from the 12.5% rate recorded in October 2010.

California’s UI Trust Fund has been insolvent since January 2009 due in part to the large num-bers of unemployed Californians.

Also contributing to the UI fund’s insolvency has been legislation that imposed benefit increases in 2001 without including cost-saving reforms.

More Information

EDD is advising employers with questions on the FUTA credit reduction, Form 940 or Publication 15 (2011) (Circular E) Employer’s Tax Guide to contact the IRS at www.irs.gov.

flags,” as long as state agencies act quickly. He said in the case of Petronella Roofing, an Orange County contractor accused of running the larg-est known workers’ compensation insurance fraud case in the history of the state, red flags were identified long before the company was shut down. “When the red flags came up, it took five years to put them out of business,” Wick testified. “Had they been shut down earlier, we could have given more business to legitimate contractors.”

Devon Lynn Kile, 46, was sentenced on Nov. 30 to 10 years of probation and ordered to pay $2.8 million in reimbursement to the Employment Development Department and the Franchise Tax Board. Her husband, Michael Vincent Petro-nella, was sentenced to 10 years in state prison on Nov. 4, 2010. Prosecutors say the company reported about $3 million in payroll to State Compensation Insurance Fund when they were actually paying about $29 million.

The Contractors State License Board will also be stepping up its efforts next year to ensure contractors are carrying workers’ compensation insurance, according to compliance chief David Fogt. Fogt said a board review of the more than 300,000 licensed contractors in California found about 60% are exempt from carrying workers’ compensation insurance.

“They’ve signed under penalty of perjury that they have no employees and we know that is

Senate Committee Focuses on Underground Economy Continued from page 1

not true,” Fogt testified. Fogt said Assembly Bill 484, which takes effect on Jan. 1, 2012, requir-ing contractors to provide proof of coverage or certify their exempt status every two years when renewing their license will help identify non-compliant employers.

The board also plans to target the pool-plaster-ing Industry in Southern California, working with district attorney offices in Orange, Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties to bring contrac-tors into court for not having workers’ compen-sation coverage.

Fogt said for every $1 spent on enforcement ef-forts, he expects the state will see a $4 return through increased tax collections and penalties. Sens. Mark DeSaulnier, D-Concord, and Mimi Walters, R-Laguna Hills, asked during the hear-ing in Sacramento if employers are not carrying

workers’ compensation and violating other state laws because there are too many state regula-tions for them to follow. Wick said every regula-tion imposed on legitimate businesses gives the underground contractors a point of leverage, so he thinks the state’s regulatory environment is partially to blame.

Scott Hauge, president of Small Business Cali-fornia, said he thinks some employers may not know the requirements, but the vast majority of those not carrying workers’ compensation are doing so intentionally. “It is not over regula-tions,” Hauge said. “Obviously, that should be addressed, but that is a front for somebody. Not to have workers’ compensation and not to pay taxes is unconscionable.”

Setting Up a Tailgate/Toolbox Safety Meeting Tailgate or Toolbox safety meetings are 10-15 minute on-the-job meetings held to keep employees alert to work-related accidents and illnesses. Tailgate/toolbox safety meetings have proved their worth by alerting employees to workplace hazards, and by preventing accidents, illnesses and on-the-job injuries. Why Have Them?

In both the tunneling and construction industries, tailgate safety meetings are required by Title 8, Sections 8406 and 1509 of the California Code of Regulations.

While tunneling and construction are the only industries that specifically require tailgate safety meetings, all California employers must have a safety program that includes employee training in safe work practices.

Tailgate/toolbox safety meetings can be used to address actual problems on the job or in the shop. The supervisor leading the meeting can draw on the experience of workers, and use that experience to remind all employees –especially newer ones – of the dangers of working with particular kinds of machinery, tools, equipment and materials. What to Talk About?

Talk about work practices, machinery, tools, equipment materials, attitudes, and anything else that may cause or contribute to a work-related accident or illness. Keep the topic relevant to the job or tasks at hand.

An excellent source for construction related topics is the publication Cal/OSHA Pocket Guide for the Construction Industry. Supervisors can choose individual sections or topics and relate them to their specific site requirements. Copies can be ordered from the Division of Occupational Safety and Health.

Choose a topic you think needs safety review. If you notice that spills aren’t being cleaned up promptly, discuss it. If there has been an accident or a near-accident on the job, talk about it. What happened? Where did it happen? How can it be prevented from happening again? Encourage employees to suggest topics. They often know best - what and where the dangers are. How to Run a Good Meeting 1. Hold the meeting on the job, preferably where everyone

can sit and relax. 2. Hold meetings at the beginning of shift or after a break. 3. Choose the topic carefully. Topics should be about health

and safety problems on the job. Research the problem before the meeting. For machinery, consult the manufacturer’s operations manual. For handling toxic substances, get a copy of the material safety data sheet. Your company’s insurance carrier is another good source

of information. Cal/OSHA also supplies a wide range of printed material on worksite safety and health.

4. Don’t choose too broad a topic. 5. Encourage employee participation - keep your meeting

short. Sample Topic for Tailgate/Toolbox Safety Meetings:

Why are guards left off machines? Guards are placed on machines to prevent workers from

contacting moving parts. They are required by Cal/OSHA regulations.

Many California workers are killed or injured every year because guards are removed and not replaced.

Why are guards left off? Ask the group to give reasons. Some common ones are:

♦ I didn’t have time to replace the guard. ♦ I wanted to make sure the machine was working okay. I

just never got around to replacing the guard. ♦ I put on a new drive and the old guard didn’t fit. ♦ I had to remove the guard to adjust the machine. ♦ I couldn’t work with the guard on. It slowed me down. ♦ Listen I’ve run these machines for years without guards

and I’ve never been hurt. These excuses have been given countless times. After the

accident has happened, the guard is replaced and strict rules are enforced. Of course, it’s too late for the victim. The purpose of meeting on this topic is to make sure rules are enforced before an accident can happen.

Unlicensed Operators

Like legitimate contractors, unlicensed operators sometimes use advertising to find new clients. Ads without license numbers or with numbers that are not issued by the CSLB are frequently used by the Board to identify sting targets.

The CSLB and other enforcement agencies use two sections of the law—B&P Sections 7027.1 and 7099.10—to take legal action against unlicensed contractors and, on occasion, against licensed contractors who advertise illegally.

If an unlicensed operator advertises as a contractor in a telephone directory, and if an investigation determines the entity doing the advertising is unlicensed, under B&P Section 7099.10 (a), the Registrar can issue a citation for a fine or other civil penalty assessment. The citation will also include an order of correction that requires:

any phone number in the unlawful ad and to not refer subsequent calls to any new number obtained by that person. If the order of correction isn’t made, the Registrar can have the Public Utilities Commission disconnect the phone service.

If you believe that an unlicensed contractor is actively working on a construction project, contact the CSLB at 1-800-321-CSLB (2752) or fill out a “SWIFT Lead Referral” form, which is available on the CSLB Web site, www.cslb.ca.gov.
