2025 Midyear Employment Law Update

In 2025, employment law changes and updates continue to be constant — and we’re only halfway through the year!

While most California laws usually take effect on the first of the year, local ordinances, regulations, court cases and other employment law developments can keep employers busy all year long.

So far this year, employers have seen several local and industry-specific minimum wage updates, reminders to complete their annual workplace violence prevention requirements, and state and federal agency actions, regulations and court decisions that impact them.
