New Year Means New Laws for LicenseesLicensure for LLCs among laws effective January 1, 2012
SACRAMENTO, CA – Limited Liability Companies are now able to apply for contractor licenses in California, in compliance with Senate Bill 392 which was signed into law in 2010. LLC officers interested in obtaining a contractor license must fill out a form specific to LLCs to initiate the pro-cess. That form is now available on the CSLB website. This is one of the new laws that go into effect this weekend.
Starting January 1, 2012, Assembly Bill 397 re-quires a contractor who certifies that he/she has no employees and is exempt from carrying a workers’ compensation policy to submit a new certification, or proof of workers’ compensation insurance coverage or self-insurance, each time the license is up for renewal. C-39 Roofing con-tractors must still purchase workers’ compensa-tion insurance coverage even if they certify they have no employees, as required by Business and Professions Code section 7125.
Assembly Bill 878 requires workers’ compen-sation insurers to report to CSLB if a licensee’s policy is cancelled as the result of a premium au-dit or investigation, or a misrepresentation that results in harm to the insurer without reimburse-ment being made. This legislation also states that disregard and violation of workers’ compen-sation insurance laws are cause for discipline by the CSLB Registrar.
Other laws passed this year may also impact contractors and their business operations. Laws with effective dates other than January 1, 2012
are noted in bold italics.
Employment and PayrollAssembly Bill 551 increases the fines for •contractors who fail to pay prevailing wage on public works projects and for failure to provide certified payroll records in a timely fashion. It also requires the Labor Commis-sioner to notify CSLB when it updates its lists for these violations, and to annually notify awarding bodies of the availability of debarred contractors.
Assembly Bill 766, a companion to Assembly •Bill 551, requires that certified copies of the payroll records be made available to mem-bers of the Joint Enforcement Strike Force on the Underground Economy or other law enforcement on request. If such records are requested by the public, information on the employees would not be included.
Senate Bill 459 authorizes the Labor and •Workforce Development Agency to is-sue fines for the willful misclassification of employees as independent contractors, and requires the agency to notify CSLB of violators who are licensees. The legislation also requires the board to initiate actions against such licensees.
State TaxesAssembly Bill 1307 states that CSLB may •
The income tax filing season has begun and important tax documents should be arriving in your mailbox.

ERGONOMIC BREAKS, REST PERIODS, AND STRETCHES
Ergonomic injury risk factors include forceful movements, repetitive motions, awkward postures, and lack of rest. Rest periods give the body time to recover from work; breaktime exercises and stretches strengthen the body. Workers should think of themselves as Industrial Athletes; athletes wouldn’t participate in a sport without proper rest and warm-up, so use the same preparation on the job.
Maintaining overall health reduces your risk of injury. Get a good night’s sleep to rest your body and maintain alertness. Eat healthy foods and drink fluids to boost energy and stay hydrated. Aerobic exercise and weight training increase strength and vitality. Stretching, yoga, and pilates improve flexibility and build core body strength.
Pay attention to signs of discomfort and fatigue on the job; these are warning signs from your body. As muscles tire during a work task, slouching can lead to poor posture, sloppy, uncontrolled movements, and injuries. Rest breaks mean recovery for the body. During a job task, take micro-breaks lasting 10-15 seconds every ten minutes. Take mini-breaks lasting 3-5 minutes every thirty to sixty minutes. These short breaks give the body a rest, reduce discomfort, and improve your performance.
Alternate your work activities and postures throughout the day. Rotating tasks may seem inefficient, but the rest and use of different muscle groups increases energy and maintains productivity. For example, if you are a landscaper, don’t trim all of the shrubs, sweep up the trimmings, and then leaf-blow the whole area; work in sections and trim, sweep, and leaf-blow in alternating tasks. If you work at a single workstation and job task all day, move into different postures while you work: first standing, then standing with one foot resting on a stool, then sitting.
Stretches help you warm-up before work and relax during breaks; they increase flexibility and boost blood flow and oxygen to muscles. Perform stretches slowly and gently; avoid extreme postures and stop stretching if you feel pain or discomfort. Physical and Occupational Therapists are the most qualified individuals to generate a specific stretching and warm-up program.
Overall fitness and flexibility, adequate sleep, task rotation, and rest breaks can help limit the overall risk of injury.

PAUSAS, DESCANSOS Y ESTIRAMIENTOS ERGONÓMICOS DEL CUERPO
Los factores de riesgo para lesiones ergonómicas incluyen movimientos bruscos, movimientos repetitivos, posturas incómodas y falta de sueño. Los períodos de descanso le brindan tiempo al cuerpo para recuperarse del trabajo; los ejercicios y el estiramiento del cuerpo lo fortalecen. Los trabajadores deben considerarse atletas industriales; los atletas no participarían en ningún deporte sin el descanso y el calentamiento necesarios, por lo tanto usted debe hacer los mismos preparativos para su trabajo.
Mantenerse sano en general reduce el riesgo de sufrir una lesión. Duerma bien por la noche para descansar el cuerpo y estar alerta. Coma alimentos saludables y beba líquidos para aumentar la energía y mantenerse hidratado. Los ejercicios aeróbicos y el levantamiento de pesas le aumentan la fortaleza y la vitalidad. Estirarse el cuerpo, hacer yoga y pilates mejoran la flexibilidad y la fortaleza de la zona central del cuerpo.
Préstele atención a los indicios de malestar y fatiga en su trabajo; estas son señales de advertencia que le da su cuerpo. A medida que los músculos se fatigan durante una tarea de trabajo, el cansancio puede producir una mala postura, movimientos descuidados o descontrolados y lesiones. Los períodos de descanso significan recuperación para el cuerpo. Durante una tarea de trabajo, haga pausas cortas de 10 a 15 segundos cada 10 minutos. Tome descansos cortos de 3 a 5 minutos cada treinta a sesenta minutos. Estos breves descansos le brindan a su cuerpo la oportunidad de descansar, reducen el malestar y mejoran su rendimiento.
Alterne sus actividades de trabajo y su postura a lo largo del día. Alternar las tareas puede parecer ineficiente, pero el descanso y el uso de diferentes grupos de músculos mejoran su energía y mantienen su productividad. Por ejemplo, si usted es un jardinero, en vez de podar todos los arbustos, barrer los residuos y después limpiar el área con una sopladora; trabaje por secciones, podando, barriendo y limpiando con la sopladora cada sección, alternando así las tareas. Si usted trabaja en una sola estación de trabajo y hace la misma tarea todo el día, cambie su postura mientras trabaja: primero de pie, después parado con un pie descansando sobre un banquillo y después sentado.
Estirar el cuerpo lo calienta antes de comenzar su trabajo y lo relaja durante los descansos; aumenta la flexibilidad de los músculos y mejora el flujo de la sangre y del oxígeno a los músculos. Estírese lenta y suavemente; evite posturas extremas y deje de estirarse si siente malestar o dolor. Para ver ejercicios de estiramiento y otros ejercicios de calentamiento aptos para su tarea de trabajo en específico, consulte a su Oficina de Control de Pérdidas de State Fund y pregunte por un especialista en ergonomía. Los terapeutas ocupacionales y físicos son las personas más calificas para diseñar un programa específico de calentamiento y estiramiento.
Por lo general, una buena condición física y flexibilidad, suficiente sueño, la alternación de tareas y los períodos de descanso pueden ayudar a limitar el riesgo general de sufrir lesiones.

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.
