If an employer asks an employee to pick up some tools during their commute to the job site, is that time paid? A new exempt employee starts working on a Wednesday — must they be paid a full week’s salary? Can employees use their Healthy Workforce, Healthy Families paid sick leave for jury duty? Navigating California’s complex and ever-changing employment laws can be overwhelming. CalChamber’s virtual HR Boot Camp on Thursday, February 26 and Friday, February 27, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. PT, is designed to help you manage compliance with clarity and confidence.
