California HR Compliance Laws

California employers face some of the most rigorous labor and employment compliance obligations in the country. As your California HR compliance attorneys, we help you understand and implement policies aligned with:

  • California Labor Code

    Governs wage and hour laws, meal/rest breaks, overtime, and more.

  • 3

    Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA)

    Prohibits employment discrimination and harassment based on protected characteristics.

  • 2

    California Family Rights Act (CFRA)

    Requires covered employers to provide job-protected family and medical leave.

    Establishes the ABC test for distinguishing employees from independent contractors.

Our compliance attorneys ensure your policies and practices meet California’s exacting standards, helping you avoid costly lawsuits and agency penalties.

Nevada HR Compliance Laws

While Nevada offers a more business-friendly environment, employers must still navigate a range of state and federal employment requirements. Our Nevada HR compliance lawyers help businesses meet obligations under:

  • SB 293 (Salary History Ban)

    Prohibits inquiries about an applicant’s prior compensation.

  • Workplace Safety (NV OSHA):

    Mandates injury reporting and safety protocols for hazardous industries.

Whether you're expanding into Nevada or managing an existing workforce, our team helps you develop policies and practices that withstand scrutiny while maintaining operational efficiency.

Onboarding & Offboarding Compliance

Onboarding and Offboarding: Get It Right from Start to Finish

A well-structured onboarding and offboarding process not only helps your business stay legally compliant—it sets the tone for employee satisfaction and protects you from costly missteps. Our team helps design clear, lawful procedures that minimize risk and uphold best practices.

We advise on:

  • Legally compliant offer letters and onboarding documentation

  • Background check and drug testing compliance under FCRA and state privacy laws

  • I-9 employment eligibility verification and retention

  • Wage notice disclosures (including California’s Wage Theft Protection Act)

  • Handling company property return and trade secret protection

We tailor each step to your business type and workforce model—whether you're managing in-office staff, remote teams, or independent contractors. From the first day to the last, we help make every transition legally sound and risk-aware.

Workplace Investigations

When internal complaints arise, conducting a prompt, impartial, and legally sound investigation is essential. Our employment attorneys assist employers in addressing:

  • Harassment, discrimination, or hostile work environment allegations

  • Retaliation and whistleblower claims

  • Wage and hour disputes

  • Ethical violations and leadership misconduct

We guide you through:

  • Interview planning and documentation

  • Witness statements and confidentiality protocols

  • Evidence preservation and legal privilege

  • Final reporting and resolution recommendations

Handled properly, these investigations reduce liability and demonstrate good-faith compliance if litigation occurs.

Policy Development & Review

Policies form the backbone of workplace compliance. Our employment policy attorneys draft and audit HR documentation to reflect legal requirements and best practices, including:

  • Customized employee handbooks

  • Anti-discrimination and anti-harassment policies (FEHA, NRS 613)

  • Wage and hour documentation (pay stubs, meal/rest break protocols)

  • Leave policies (FMLA, CFRA, SB 312)

  • Performance management and discipline procedures

  • Remote work, social media, and device use policies

We align your HR documentation with state-specific mandates and industry-specific risks, ensuring clarity, enforceability, and legal compliance.

Employment Contracts & Negotiation

Written agreements minimize future disputes. Our employment contract attorneys support businesses with:

  • Offer letters and onboarding documentation

  • Executive employment agreements

  • Independent contractor agreements (AB 5, IRS standards)

  • Severance and release agreements

  • Confidentiality, non-solicitation, and trade secret protection

We ensure your contracts reflect current law and preserve the enforceability of key clauses—particularly in sensitive areas like post-employment restrictions, pay equity, and arbitration.

Compliance Training Sessions

Legal compliance depends on awareness and accountability at every level. We provide tailored training programs delivered by experienced workplace compliance lawyers, including:
