For 2024, the minimum wage increased to $16, but some areas and industries have wages higher than that. For example, starting June 1, 2024, workers in healthcare facilities will increase to a range of $18 to $23 per hour, depending on the facility\u2019s size and location. Workers in fast food move to a minimum wage of $20 per hour starting April 1, 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The towns and cities with higher wages are as follows. (The definition of a small employer is one with no more than 25 workers.)<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alameda &#8211; $16.52<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Belmont &#8211;

With AB 594, it allows local prosecutors to step in and prosecute both civil and criminal cases regarding violations of the Labor Code.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AB 636: Wage Theft Violation Notices Must Include Emergency or Disaster Declaration Notices<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All employers have to provide information on wage theft. Employers need to add information regarding state and federal emergency or disaster declarations that cover health and safety issues that could impact a worker\u2019s employment. The California Labor Commissioner\u2019s website must post a template to the website by March 1st.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Starting March 15, 2024, California employers must provide in both English and Spanish, if requested, the notice listed above to workers on federal H-2A agricultural visas using the same language to other employees.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AB 2188: Workers Who Use Cannabis Off the Job Cannot Be Discriminated Against<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">California laws legalized recreational cannabis in 2016. Despite this, some workers were being penalized when it came to work-related drug screenings. AB 2188 makes it illegal for workers to be penalized if they use cannabis outside of work. It doesn\u2019t allow workers to use cannabis products while at work. It also doesn\u2019t impede a business\u2019s rights to maintain a drug and alcohol-free workplace as required in California\u2019s Health and Safety Code.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SB 365: California Code of Civil Procedure Changes<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In October, Governor Newsom signed SB 365 into law. Until this change, if a party appealed an order that denied or dismissed a petition to enter arbitration, it would stop or suspend proceedings in the trial court. SB 365 modifies this law, so court proceedings no longer automatically stay and may continue despite the appeal.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SB 497: Employees Gain Protections for Termination or Discipline by Their Employer<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SB 497 protects employees from retaliation or employment termination when a worker engages in a protected conduct. If an employee is subjected to termination, retaliation, demotion, or another adverse action within 90 days of that activity, it will count as an unlawful termination. The employer faces civil penalties of up to $10,000 per employee.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SB 553: Employers Must Establish Workplace Violence Prevention Safety Plans<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Workplace violence is increasing, and California is the first state to address it by mandating the creation of workplace violence prevention safety plans as part of its injury prevention program. Effective July 1, 2024, employers need to have a plan drawn up, train employees, and maintain records of any violent act that has results or has a strong likelihood of resulting in psychological trauma, stress and anxiety, or injury.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The employer would need to seek a temporary restraining order for the affected worker and allow them to go unnamed in that restraining order if they request it. Starting January 1, 2025, a collective bargaining (union) representative would also have the authority to seek a temporary restraining order for any worker under a collective bargaining agreement.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SB 616: Paid Sick Leave Benefits Increase<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through the Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Families Act of 2014, <a href=\"https:\/\/shegerianconniff.com\/dev\/contact-our-employment-law-firm-shegerian-conniff\/\">California workers<\/a> are entitled to paid sick days if they\u2019ve worked with the same employer for at least 30 days in a year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employers cannot retaliate against an employee who uses sick days or set requirements on how those sick days can be used. The law required sick leave to be accrued at a rate of 1 hour for every 30 hours worked and available for use after 90 days of employment. However, the law excluded employees who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SB 616 grants workers under a collective bargaining agreement the same amount of sick leave. It also increases the amount of accrued sick leave from three to five days after 200 days of full-time employment. Annual accrual limits increase from six to 10 days.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SB 848: Time Off For Reproductive Loss<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Current California laws require an employer to give a worker up to five days of bereavement leave following a family member\u2019s death. SB 848 expands this to reproductive loss, such as a stillbirth, failed adoption or surrogacy, unsuccessful assisted reproduction, or miscarriage. Workers have the right to take up to five days off following a reproductive loss.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a worker suffers multiple losses in one year, there is a cap of 20 days off per 12-month period. An employer can allow a worker to use other methods of coverage, such as paid sick leave. If an employer refuses to grant that time off, it\u2019s illegal.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SB 699: Non-Compete Agreements Are Illegal, Even if the Worker Is Outside of California<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Non-competition clauses or agreements state that workers cannot move to a position with a competitor or start a similar profession or entrepreneurship that could create competition. They\u2019re illegal in California as they can make it difficult for employees to find future employment and inhibit wage growth. If an employer wants to protect trade secrets or other vital information, they need to take a different approach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Starting January 1, 2024, SB 699 prohibits California\u2019s employers from having out-of-state workers sign non-compete agreements. All non-competition clauses and agreements are illegal, no matter where they were signed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, AB 1076 requires employers to notify workers hired after January 1, 2022, who signed a non-compete agreement that that clause is void. The notice has to be in writing and delivered to the employee\u2019s last-known email address and last physical address.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a worker is forced to sign an illegal non-compete, the employee or prospective employee can sue for the recovery of damages, injunctive relief, or both. Plus, the employee can ask for the employer to cover the resulting legal fees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This summarizes 2024\u2019s employment law changes.
