CALIFORNIA LABOR CODE SECTION 2802 STATUTE BRIEF

Recommended Technical Isolation Blueprint
🛡️
Recommended Strategy: Enterprise-Issued VDI or Dual-Boot Partition
- Request a dedicated employer-provided laptop or corporate Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (Amazon WorkSpaces / Azure Virtual Desktop).
- If personal device usage is compulsory, create an encrypted separate OS partition (FileVault/BitLocker) restricted exclusively to work.
- Do not execute employer MDM enrolment scripts on your primary personal user account or volume.
- Segregate personal Github/GitLab credentials onto isolated SSH keys outside corporate monitoring agents.
