If you are a Californian employer, you know how complex California employment laws are. California is known for its sunny beaches, but that’s not the only thing. It’s also known for its complex employment laws. The state is an employee-centric state with more protections for employees in the workplace. State-specific and multi-state Employers always struggle with workplace regulations that may intersect with employees they have located in California, especially remote employees. Moreover, California regulations more often exceed most federal workplace regulations and employers have a hard time determining which regulations supersede which regulations Federal, State, or Local. This confusion has increased the potential for fines, penalties, and criminal sanctions.
California takes worker protection seriously. This means California labor law compliance are more favorable to employees than federal laws or those in other states. For many employers dealing with California employment laws seems to an uphill task. One that requires understanding, patience, lot of time and common sense.
