California Protects Employees

Non-compliance can lead to significant financial penalties & litigation costs and reputational harm to businesses. Attorneys must stay informed to effectively advise clients and ensure adherence to these evolving laws.

California is known for having some of the strongest employee protections in the U.S., encompassing various aspects of employment. These laws cover areas like minimum wage, overtime pay, meal and rest breaks, paid sick leave, family leave, and protection against discrimination and harassment.
