| California has
the toughest and most costly employment laws in the nation. In this new publication,
Attorney Richard J. Simmons of the law firm of Sheppard, Mullin, Richter &
Hampton LLP, addresses
the numerous workplace statutes that burden California employers. It examines
the far-reaching network of new rules that touch upon such diverse subjects as
wage-hour reform, employment discrimination, time off, leaves of absence, mass
layoffs, plant closings, background checks, lactation accommodation, and paid
family leave. It also reviews the devastating impact of these new laws on California
businesses and employment.
