Lewes police officers will be paid overtime for all hours worked through the end of 2020, as per a compromise struck between the police union and city officials.
The police department's contract, which was negotiated by General Teamsters Local 326 on behalf of officers, states that all time worked during a state of emergency shall be paid at the overtime rate of time-and-a-half for the duration of the emergency. The city paid officers overtime from March 12 through May 17 before stopping because the city's legal counsel did not interpret a prolonged state of emergency due to a worldwide pandemic as the intended reason for overtime pay.

When it comes to medical exams, the ADA places "strict limits" on employers, according to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). All disability-related inquiries and medical examinations "must be job-related and consistent with business necessity," the agency has said .
Employer guidelines on medical exams have become even more important as the country grapples with the novel coronavirus pandemic. Notably, the EEOC approved on-site testing of employees for COVID-19 as a condition of entering the workplace as long as the test is "job related and consistent with business necessity."

An Uber and Lyft shutdown in California looks inevitable — unless voters bail them out - The Verge
No Uber and Lyft rides in California? After a judge rejected the companies' effort to delay an order that they classify drivers as employees, it seems inevitable. Uber and Lyft have until August 20th to comply with the order. But the companies have said they will need to go dark in the Golden State in order to retool their business.
The judges may not have the last word. Uber and Lyft are counting on California's notoriously mercurial voters to help them circumvent AB5, which went into effect in January and makes it more difficult for companies to use independent contractors. Uber and Lyft built their respective businesses on the concept of using freelance drivers who aren't eligible for traditional benefits like health insurance and paid leave.

Letters to the Editor: Sen. Harris is the right choice - SFChronicle.com
Before today, I was going to vote for Joe Biden but, now that he has picked Sen. Kamala Harris for his running mate, I am not only going to vote for him, but I will completely support him. I’m not going to support him because Harris is a woman or because she is Black.
I’ve watched her through her career and what she has accomplished, and I know she is absolutely fit for the job. We need change, and she will definitely help find it.

Regarding “ Ditch school to fight COVID-19 ” (Insight, Aug. 9): Thank you, Joe Mathews, for the most thoughtful scenario floated thus far in regards to opening schools. The piece makes sense when backed with ideas of teachers and students involved in the fight against the pandemic.
