March Madness is upon us, but there are many times of the
year when gambling can creep into the workplace. Whether the betting pool
is for basketball, fantasy football or even a pregnant employee’s due date,
any sort of office pool for tangible gain is considered gambling and most
gambling in the workplace is illegal under California law.
The risk of being fined or imprisoned for violating the gambling in the
workplace law is often ignored by employers and employees, putting many
California businesses at risk for penalties. Make sure you know how to combat
workplace gambling and stay out of trouble.
