California Employment Law 2027 is the only book employers need to stay fully compliant with the latest legal changes in the state.

It is often said that it is difficult for an employer to fully comply with all of California's employment laws. They are just too numerous, too complicated and change too often. There are so many traps for the unwary and a simple mistake can lead to a seven-figure jury verdict or a class action lawsuit. California Employment Law is the annual, official SHRM guide and so is the go-to resource for anyone who must contend with employment law in California as part of their day-to-day work, both those based in-state and those employers based outside of California who have employees working in the state.

This bestselling guide is updated to address new developments including:
- New minimum pay thresholds
- Employer Equal Pay Act obligations
- A ban on 'stay or pay' employment contracts
- Expanded leave and sick-leave rights for crime victims
- Emergency contact rights for employees
- Paid Family Leave expanded to 'designated persons
- Expanded pay-data reporting categories and mandatory penalties for missing pay-data reports
- Additional data-handling requirements
