An Overview of New 2017 Laws Affecting California Employers

The 2016 legislative session produced new laws that will affect California employers' day-to-day operations and policies in 2017 and beyond. That's because quite a few bills feature delayed or phased-in implementation.

Wage and hour, including minimum wage and overtime
Expanded discrimination and retaliation protections, including significant amendments to the Fair Pay Act
