There has been a 2016 midyear employment labor law poster update. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) announced two mandatory poster changes. Beginning August 1, 2016, employers must post updated versions of the Federal Minimum Wage and the Federal Employee Polygraph Protection Act. Businesses who purchased a 2016 Labor Law poster from the Chamber should have received these updates, via mail, to be posted with your 2016 Labor Law Poster to be compliant with these changes. Also included in the mailing was the 2016 Midyear Employment Law Update. If you did not r receive the mailing give the office staff a call at 257-4323 so they can forward a copy to you.

Historic Uptown Susanville Association is raising funds to make much needed improvements and repairs to the Pancera Plaza. The “Buy A Brick” program will help fund some of the improvements that are planned including adding lighting, electrical and water sources throughout the Plaza. The custom bricks will be placed in the Plaza to complete the project that was started in the 1990’s. A 4”x 8” brick can still be purchased to commemorate a loved one, special event, business or club. Become a part of Historic Uptown Susanville by purchasing a brick. Applications to purchase a brick can be downloaded from the chamber website, lassencountychamber.org, or for more information contact David at 257-2392
