The California Employers Association has issued a crucial advisory regarding upcoming state and federal legislation, impacting various aspects such as minimum wage, tax regulations on overtime and tips, and developments in artificial intelligence and immigration enforcement. These new laws will introduce compliance obligations for employers, effective from January 1, 2026, with certain provisions already in effect. Notably, under SB 3, wage and salary hikes are mandated statewide, necessitating adjustments by employers to meet the new standards. The impending adjustments will have far-reaching implications for businesses throughout California.
