New California Employment Laws
OK, better late than never... The California Labor & Employment Law Blog has a great post summarizing new legislation taking effect in California in 2008. The laws range from legislation as simple as an increase in the state's minimum wage to laws such as:
- A new law requiring employers with 25+ employees to grant unpaid leave to spouses or domestic partners of combatants on leave from deployment in a combat zone.
- The new San Francisco paid sick leave requirement.
- Work hours are now regulated for pharmacists
- A crackdown on Workers Compensation “Deadbeats”
- And amendments to California law dealing with discrimination.
