California labor laws are undergoing significant changes effective January 1, 2024. It’s essential for businesses, especially those spread across various states or with remote hiring practices, to have a grip on these latest updates.
We’re looking at a range of changes here — everything from more generous paid sick leave policies to fresh takes on noncompete agreements and introducing leave for reproductive loss.
For business owners and HR managers, staying on top of these new regulations is much more than just legal advice.
Remote work is becoming increasingly popular with businesses and employees: According to estimates, flexible work arrangements have become three to ten times more common since 2019. Offering remote work options can give employers access to a national talent pool, reduce overhead costs, and help businesses attract and retain the best people for their teams.
This shift also means that an increasing number of companies face multi-state payroll obligations. If you employ out-of-state remote workers, have business locations in multiple states, or have employees who travel for work, you may be required to withhold taxes in multiple states.
Paid sick leave (PSL) is time off that allows employees to recover from short-term illnesses or attend medical appointments without losing their regular wages.
Unlike unpaid leave, which is federally mandated under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), PSL is employer-funded. Generally, employees accrue this type of leave based on hours worked.
For instance, you could earn one hour of PSL for every 30 hours you work, up to a set limit, such as seven days per year.
