#2I was reading an article on California worker protections and came across a reference to this. For some reason I had never heard about this law in spite of living and working remotely in CA for years.
Note that it may only apply if the employee lives in CA.

#7I like the idea, but not the implementation. I think it should be done as a tax credit for the employee or the company instead.
Doing so creates positive incentives for companies to hire remote workers in California. Requiring the company to pay up by force of law disincentivizes companies from hiring remote workers in California.
I also think that it would be more equitable since an employee’s home office setup belongs to them and not their employer.
