Business operations and all that they entail can often be a complex endeavor. Making matters worse are the many terms peppered throughout. One such term you might encounter during your foray into the world of business compliance and structure is “DBA.”
So, what does this term mean, and how is it essential to your business’s identity? In this guide, we’ll unpack its definition, significance, and history.
An employee handbook is a comprehensive guide that benefits both employers and employees in several ways. Employees gain clarity on expectations, company policies, and their available benefits. Meanwhile, employers establish a framework for consistent workplace practices, thereby minimizing the risk of misunderstandings.
The growing popularity of remote work, multi-state operations, and ever-changing employment laws only elevate the importance of a well-crafted handbook. Understanding and following the finer details of state-specific variations, like paid sick leave or overtime eligibility, is essential for ensuring compliance.
California employers face a multi-billion dollar question in 2025. The estimated annual cost of the new California minimum wage is massive and rippling across the state. And if you’re operating in multiple jurisdictions, your compliance complexity just multiplied exponentially.
The statewide minimum wage hit $16.50 per hour on January 1, 2025, but that’s just the baseline. Factor in industry-specific rates reaching $24 per hour, plus over 30 cities and counties with their own requirements, and you’re looking at a compliance maze that can trigger significant penalties per employee per pay period for mistakes.
