Welcome to Lawi's introductory entry on the employment laws of California, with authoritative yet easy-to-understand summaries of Nevada laws pertaining to the workplace and employment relationships.
California labor and employment laws identify minimum wage and pay day requirements, are intended to protect workers from unfair treatment or unsafe working conditions, balanced against the need of states to attract employers, and regulate issues like labor union membership and the right of workers to organize.
This introductory entry contains a number of entries on wage and hour California statutes and regulations, which include provisions on minimum wage, information about legal holidays, and rest periods in California; as well as topics such as whistleblower laws that prohibit employers from retaliating against employees for certain protected acts, overtime pay and meal breaks.
The federal government provides a base level of employee protection but California has its own set of labor and employment laws, that either strengthen these protections in California or address other, California-specific needs. Like most states, overtime is required for time worked beyond a limit of hours in a week in California. Additional information about so-called “right to work” laws is also available.
