One of the most important parts of operating a business is familiarizing yourself with the proper hiring procedure. It can be equally as important to understand how to properly utilize termination of employment if, for whatever reason, you wish to discontinue your working relationship with that employee. Employees also need to understand how termination of employment works in order to ensure that their workplace rights aren’t being violated.
California often leads the way in employment law, and recent updates are no exception. As of Jan. 1, 2023, the introduction of “designated person” standards has expanded how employees can take leave under the California Family Rights Act (CFRA) and the Healthy Workplaces Healthy Families Act (HWHFA).
These new standards are something employers must be aware of, as they bring both flexibility and complexity to managing employee leave. Let’s break down what these changes mean, how they might impact your business, and how Mosey can help manage state compliance.
As a Florida employer, you have a lot of flexibility when it comes to sick leave policies.
