California Employment Law 2025

Fully updated with the latest legal developments, this is the definitive guide to California employment law. 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, and 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 2025 is the go-to resource 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 2024, including: - New requirements for requiring temporary employees to arbitrate employment disputes. - The new Freelance Worker Protection Act. - New minimum wages for health care workers. - Higher salary thresholds for overtime exemptions. - New requirements for cool-down breaks for indoors workers. - Restrictions on requiring job applicants to have driver's licenses. - Expanded leave requirements for employees who are victims of certain acts of violence, or whose family members are victims. - New restrictions on mandatory "captive audience" employee meetings preceding a union representation election.
