We recently updated a 15-page Employer's Guide to Doing Business In California. The guide provides clear summaries of California's unique requirements for meal and rest periods, the Fair Pay Act, paychecks and wage statements, the various leaves of absence, and more. If you subscribe to that whole "ounce of prevention" theory, this is a great way to see if your company is complying with California's unique employment law requirements. You can download a pdf of the Guide here.
Spending a little time to determine if your company is sufficiently protected is a lot quicker and cheaper than waiting for a lawsuit and learning first hand why California ranks as the number one judicial hellhole.
Special thanks to Cristina Armstrong, Tyreen Torner, and Sahara Pynes for their work updating prior versions of the guide.
