The Chamber negotiates with providers so a small business gets terms usually reserved for a large one. Compliance, hiring, retirement, and purchasing.
California requires employers of five or more to offer a retirement plan. The Chamber runs an aggregate 401(k) that member businesses can join instead of standing up their own.
Any business with even one employee has to display a current employment poster where staff and applicants can see it, covering workers’ compensation, payday schedule and emergency contacts. Multiple sites need multiple posters.
A free board for members to post openings and reach local candidates, promoted by the Chamber across its channels.
Free sexual harassment prevention training and related compliance support for member businesses.
Discounted office supplies, computers and equipment through the Chamber’s purchasing arrangements.
Discounts offered by other Chamber members to fellow members — the reason a lot of businesses join in the first place.
Along with a directory listing from day one, and the rooms where the introductions happen.
