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.
