“COVID compliance obligations have, by far, caused the most challenges among employers in the past year, as they are ever-changing and often overlapping from a state and local perspective,” said Jeremy Mittman, labor and employment partner at Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp. “It’s been very difficult for legal and HR compliance teams to keep up.”
Other major developments in California law include changes employers need to make to confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions in severance agreements. Recent California court decisions have also affected the way employers need to calculate employee’s pay, such as issues with rounding of employee time and meal-period penalties.
“There are significant costs and implications to calculating these penalties which many employers haven’t previously considered,” Mittman added. “Compliance on these issues has occupied a large portion of our clients’ time in the past year and will continue to be a challenge in the new year.”
