There are only three employees in my business. If everyone agrees, may we smoke?

HRCalifornia

No. State law used to permit smoking in the workplace if your business had a total of five or fewer employees and certain conditions were met, such as not allowing minors in the space and having proper ventilation. Legislation enacted in 2016 eliminated this small employer exception.

For more information, see Smoking in the Workplace in the HR Library.
