Recent Changes for San Diego and Southern California Employers
There have been a substantial number of changes in California law which directly affect California employers. These changes affect everything from minimum wage to the reports employers are required to provide to state and federal agencies. There is now the ability for an employee to identify a “Designated Person” each year which expands the scope of family leave. Workplace safety regulations, pay data, job posting and reporting associated with “labor contractors” must be integrated into changes involving the employee handbook as well as policies and procedures.
Recent changes in employment law and the misclassification of independent contractors has resulted in a new level of “status audits” by the EDD and exposure to heavy financial penalties, as well as back pay, payroll taxes, benefits and interest. ADA litigation and FMLA disputes are also rapidly increasing, and California courts tend to side with employees in these matters. How can a business compete?
