The California Labor Code is a minefield for California employers, and even seasoned HR professionals have to keep a trained eye on its ever-evolving requirements. Policies that were once air tight can “blow up” whenever the law changes, leaving employers unnecessarily exposed to costly legal liability.

Not staying apprised of new laws and changes to the old ones. 2. Failing to give employees sick leave. 3. Preventing employees from using work e-mail during non-work times. 4. Failing to train supervisors on bullying and sexual harassment. 5. Basing employment decisions on social media activity. 6. Misclassifying workers as exempt from overtime. 7. Allowing employees to decide whether or when they want to take a lunch break. 8. Imprudently terminating employees on leaves of absence. 9. Withholding wages or other compensation when employees don’t return company property. 10. Giving employees “comp time” instead of paying overtime.
