Chandra Andrade and Rebecca Stephens discuss "Preparing Your Organization for California’s New Employment Laws in 2022."

  • Template employment document updates in light of amendments to the California Fair Employment and Housing Act and Labor Code;
  • Expanded coverage for family members under the California Family Rights Act and updates to the DFEH’s mediation program;
  • Extension of time to retain personnel records;
  • Minimum wage updates; and
  • Current rules, guidance, and best practices relating to COVID-19.
