Description of Program and Relief
Right of Recall and Worker Retention Policies for Laid-Off Janitorial, Maintenance, Security Service, and Hospitality Industry Employees
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors has adopted Right of Recall and Worker Retention policies to protect workers in the janitorial, maintenance, security service, and hospitality industries during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The “Right of Recall” ordinance provides that workers in the above-listed industries who are laid off due to the pandemic have first right of recall to their jobs, when their employers are ready to bring employees back. The “Worker Retention” ordinance ensures that workers in the above-listed industries get to keep their jobs in the event the business they work for gets sold because of the pandemic.

Any employers that have a collective bargaining agreement in place are exempt.
