Sneak Peek at 2026 California Labor Laws

Date: November 18, 2025
Time: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
Location: Webinar
Fee: Free for Members, $25 for Non-members

There are some significant employment law updates on the horizon for 2026. From new executive orders and EEOC guidance in 2025 to anticipated Form I-9 enforcement in 2026, employers should be ready to adjust accordingly. On a state-level, California employers must also be prepared for minimum wage increases, wage and hour audit recommendations, and new regulations in the works!

Join CEA's subject matter experts for a Sneak Peek at California’s 2026 Labor Law Updates, where we break down the latest HR news.

Beyond telling you "what’s new," CEA takes a more practical approach.  We explain next steps and best practices, including how to update your policies, practices, and trainings.
