New Employment Laws for 2019

​​​​Three sure signs that it’s finally fall in California are those changing leaves, the pumpkin spice lattes and a stack of freshly signed bills on the governor’s desk. 

This year, 1,217 bills made it to the governor’s desk and 1,016 of them were signed into law. Dozens will affect employers in 2019, but some won’t have an impact until 2020 or 2021.​

Many new laws stemmed from the #MeToo movement, affecting settlements and nondisclosure agreements in sexual harassment claims, and extending so-called “professional relationship harassment” liability.

Most employment laws apply to organizations based on the number of people they employ, so as you grow, it’s vital to keep up-to-speed on any laws that newly apply or will soon apply to your organization.
