Why Should You Attend
The responsibility to implement and notify employers of many laws lies with the California Department of Industrial Relations. Employers need to review new laws every year, modify their operations as directed, and review the wider aspects of employment law that they affect. So join Mark Schwartz for the 2025 Wage and Hour Laws version of this webinar. Learn what assembly bills have affected these areas for 2025:
- The Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) – Reform
- Freelance Worker Protection Act
- Minimum Wage: Fast Food Industry (AB 610)
- Minimum Wage: Health Care Workers Delay (SB 828)5)
Topic Background
The state of California has been administered under a Democratic “super-majority” for many years. Legislation in these states often grants worker wages, rights, and protections far above the Federally established minimums. In many respects, California imposes restrictions and mandates on employers that are not only expensive to comply with, but expose them to potential HR related lawsuits.
