We’d like to thank all our subscribers and readers for relying on HRWatchdog for timely HR-related news and resources. We’re busy behind the scenes preparing for the new 2025 employment laws taking effect January 1, so HRWatchdog will be taking a break until the new year.
Unless something exciting happens, that HR professionals will need to know about right away, we will be back in January 2025, ready to bring you all the 2025 court cases, agency actions, and California and federal legislative updates you need to know about.
Our most read blogs of each year are usually about the top issues, challenges or questions that HR professionals are facing. Looking back on 2024, our most popular blogs focused on state and local minimum wage changes as well as preparing for 2025 employment laws (and sometimes both):
- California’s 2025 Minimum Wage Increases to $16.50 Per Hour
- California Local Minimum Wage Rates Increasing January 1, 2025
- California Employment Laws Starting 2025
- California Local Minimum Wage Increases Starting July 1, 2024
California and federal employment law is always evolving, and 2025 should be no exception.
