Los Angeles County Hotel Worker Protection Ordinance

Los Angeles County (the “county”) enacted a hotel worker protection ordinance (HWPO) that requires hotel employers to provide personal security devices to its service workers, to designate response personnel who may directly receive alerts from the security devices, and to provide protections and accommodation to hotel service workers who observed or were victims of violent or threatening conduct. The HWPO also sets workload limits for specific hotel workers responsible for cleaning rooms and limits overtime for all hotel workers.

The HWPO applies to covered hotel employers within the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County. To determine if a workplace falls within an unincorporated area of Los AngelesLos
