Experienced grocery workers with knowledge of proper sanitation procedures, health regulations, and understanding of the clientele and communities they serve are instrumental in maintaining health and safety standards in grocery establishments. As a result, this ordinance requires that grocery retailers retain employees for 90 days when a store's ownership changes hands. It also requires grocery employers to conduct a performance evaluation of the employees at the conclusion of the 90 days and to consider continued employment for employees with satisfactory performances.
