The California Legislature has enacted several new laws that will impact the workplace in 2024. In addition to changes among various state labor and employment laws, the minimum wage will increase.
This alert provides a brief summary of select employment laws that go into effect on Jan. 1, 2024, unless stated otherwise.
It has been a very interesting and confusing year. We were told to expect a recession, but it seems we spent ourselves out of it. Prices rose, and fell, and rose and fell. Interest rates climbed, then settled out and seem to be falling again now. AND consumers keep spending.
