Heat Illness can be Prevented
Know the symptoms of heat illness.
Watch for symptoms in yourself and coworkers. If your employee’s
feel any of these symptoms have them report to their supervisor
immediately because they may need medical help. Have your employee’s
know who to talk to and how to get help before you start each day.

Stay Alert to the Weather
During a heat wave, you are at greater risk of getting sick. You
need to watch yourself and employees more closely, and may need to
drink more water, take more breaks, and use other measures.
Drink Enough Cool, Fresh Water
Drink at least one 8-ounce cup every 15 minutes during your work
shift. Do not wait until you are thirsty to drink water. Avoid
coffee, choose water over soft drinks.
Take rest breaks in the shade to cool down.
Wear the Proper Clothing
Loose fitting, lightweight cotton clothes, a wide-brimmed hat or
cap, and a bandana.
Cal Chamber’s List of New Laws Affecting Businesses in 2009
Passport Cards for Identification on I-9
The Departments of State and Homeland Security have begun to issue “passport cards” which may be used as
a “List A” document to verify employment in accordance with the I-9 form. The passport card is more limited
in its use for international travel (e.g., it may not be used for international air travel), but it is a valid
passport that attests to the U.S. citizenship and identity of the bearer. Accordingly, the card may be used
for the I-9 process and can also be accepted by employer’s participating in the E-Verify program.
The passport card is considered a List A document that may be presented by newly hired employees during the
employment eligibility verification process to show work authorized status. List A documents are those used
by employees to prove both identity and work authorization when completing the Form I-9.
Nutritional Information for Chain Restaurants
A new law requires chain restaurants with 20 or more facilities in California to post nutritional information.
Beginning July 1, 2009, to December 31, 2010, each facility must disclose nutritional information or calorie
count information about the food it serves. Nutritional information includes, but is not limited to, all of
the following, per standard menu item, as that item is usually prepared and offered for sale:
Total number of calories Total number of grams of carbohydrates Total number of grams of saturated fat; and
Total number of milligrams of sodium

and payroll needs:
If you're one of our valued clients, and would like to let us know how we're doing, we would love to feature
your testimonial in an upcoming newsletter.
Employees are the backbone of any company. Often the hiring process is rushed resulting in a less than
perfect workforce. Even so when the time comes to hire a new employee many smart business people believe
they are saving time and money by doing it themselves. Statistics show that in large cities, businesses,
both large and small, use staffing firms far more often than small town businesses. Small town business
people sometimes misunderstand about how staffing firms operate and what we do to save our clients time and
money.
Contrary to what some may believe, staffing agencies are an asset to companies and jobseekers. People
from all professions and walks of life come in and apply for positions every day. We offer these people
training and assistance in the job search. When they become our employees, we are there to
support them and
give them any help they need. Benefits are available and we do everything we can to assure job security and
personal well-being. Outstanding agencies, such Premier Staffing, attract some of the very best employees
from many professions all around the Central Valley.
When it is time to search for a new employee, consider the frequently painful process. First you must
define the position, establish the requirements, and begin the search. This can involve the cost of
advertising, taking telephone calls and wading through resumes of unqualified people then spending valuable
time sitting through pointless interviews.
Premier Staffing will do the work and send only qualified people who meet your requirements so you can
interview good candidates and make a selection quickly and get on with the business of running your
business. We handle all payroll issues including submission of State and Federal taxes, unemployment issues
as well as workers compensation. We keep abreast of revisions in State and Federal labor laws and assure
compliance.
