Joint Employer Liability. AB 2188 would add a new provision to the Labor Code, Section 2810.9, which would provide that a fast food franchisor would share civil legal responsibility and civil liability for its franchisee's violations of:
•   The Fair Housing and Employment Act;
•   California's Unfair Competition Law;
•   Multiple California Labor Code provisions regarding wages, hours, and working conditions, including but not limited to: payment of wages, paid sick days, assignment of wages, gratuities, and working hours (overtime, alternative workweeks, meal and rest break, etc.);
•   California Labor Code provisions regarding immigration status and contracts against public policy;
•   CalOSHA rules and general sanitation and health standards;
•   The Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA);
•   Executive and Emergency Orders issued by the governor regarding employment standards, worker health and safety and public health and safety; and
•   Orders issued by a county or municipality regarding employment standards, worker health and safety and public health and safety.

Right to Cure. Under the bill, a franchisor would have 30 days to "cure" a violation of the above laws before any civil action could be filed (extended to 60 days if the franchisor makes a written request to the issuing party for additional time to complete an investigation).
