California Employment Law 2026: The Shrm Guide for Employers (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781398628939)

California Employment law 2026 is the only book employers need to stay fully compliant with the latest legal changes in the state.

It is often said that it is difficult for an employer to fully comply with all of California's employment laws. They are just too numerous, too complicated and changing too often. There are so many traps for the unwary and a simple mistake can lead to a seven-figure jury verdict or a class action lawsuit. California Employment Law 2026 is the official SHRM guide and so is the go-to resource for anyone who must contend with employment law in California as part of their day-to-day work, both those based in-state and those employers based outside of California who have employees working in the state.

This valuable reference is updated to address new developments, including:

- Restrictions on the use of AI-based systems in hiring
- Prohibition on most "stay or pay" agreements
- California's "Workplace Know Your Rights Act" requirements
- The legal definition of a "hostile working environment"
- Requirements for accommodating a pregnant employee
- Limitation on the scope of arbitration agreements
- New minimum wage and overtime exemption salary thresholds
