Description
California employers can expect a full slate of new employment laws in the New Year. Some of these changes require immediate action, such as policy revision and new notices, and all require an employer’s full attention.
Our presentation will cover these new laws, important changes at state and federal agencies, and other developments employers should watch in 2026. And as always, there will be plenty of time for questions, Some covered topics include:
* Changes to the California Equal Pay Act and pay data reporting
* A dramatic new “Workplace Know Your Rights Act” notice to every employee
* State and local minimum wage increases
* New Paid Sick Leave, Victims’ Leave and Paid Family Leave rules
* New collection authority for employee tips and gratuities
* Limits on employment contract terms and employee repayment requirements
* Expanded personnel file and employment training record requirements
* Increased public works pay data disclosure
* State efforts to regulate federally governed bargaining relationships
* Other agency and court developments affecting employers.
