California Employment Law: An Employer's Guide Revised and Updated for 2024

It is often said that it is impossible for an employer to fully comply with all of California's employment laws. They are just too numerous, too complicated and too often changing – and seldom for the better. There are so many traps for the unwary, but the stakes of getting it wrong are quite high for California employers. A simple mistake can lead to a seven-figure jury verdict or a class action lawsuit. CALIFORNIA EMPLOYMENT LAW: AN EMPLOYER'S GUIDE is the go-to guide for anyone who must contend with employment law in California as part of their day-to-day work, including employers based outside of California who have employees working in the state. This valuable reference is updated to address new developments in 2023, including: • New expanded paid sick leave requirement. • New federal Pregnant Workers Fairness Act accommodation requirements. • Prohibition on testing for non-psychoactive cannabis metabolites. • New individualized assessment requirements for applicants with criminal convictions. • New prohibition against requiring non-compete agreements. • New NLRB restrictions on confidentiality in severance agreements. • New NLRB process for conducting union elections. • New requirement for Workplace Violence Prevention Plans.
