California employers rejoiced when the Legislature recently announced a new law to reform the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA). PAGA wage-hour claims cost employers billions of dollars every year.

Some employers have stopped conducting performance reviews. Why? They think they take too much time, and are ineffective. But, that does not have to be the case. The “modern” approach to performance management focuses on collaboration and teamwork. The goal is to “save” the employee, and not prepare to get rid of them.

California employers pay billions of dollars every year to resolve wage-hour claims. Overtime, the regular rate of pay, wage statement compliance, reporting time pay, and on-call shifts are just a few of the common areas that can trip up even the most well-intentioned HR professionals and leaders.

Are you in compliance with SB 553? Beginning on July 1, 2024, most California employers with one or more employees must establish, implement, and maintain an effective workplace violence prevention program, and including mandatory training for all employees.

You may have heard about SB 399, the “California Worker Freedom from Employer Intimidation Act.” It prohibits mandatory meetings where the purpose is to communicate the employer’s opinions about “religious or political matters,” including union activities (known as “captive audience meetings”).

As usual, the California Legislature was busy this year! One of the new laws effective January 1, 2025, AB 2499, expands the list of crimes for which employees may take time off, and allows employees to take protected time off to assist family members who are victims of specified crimes. It also permits the use of California paid sick leave for these purposes.
