To help you know more about such issues related to the workforce of California here are the top 4 employment issues which are becoming major concerns for global companies.
1. Use of Social Media at Workplace
The world of digitization has undoubtedly enhanced our way of living, however there are some restrictions associated with it. Now, it is often seen that employees are linked with social media with the help of their personal devices like mobile phones and this somehow blurs the line between personal activity and professional work. This is the reason why NLRB of California has created policies where any employee who uses social media platforms for personal activity can stand liable for the company.
2. Implementing Federal Health Care Law
ACA or Affordable Health Care Act which was delayed till 2015 which is mandate for employer has been officially finalized by the policymakers of California. This act says that employers need to send an official notice regarding Health Insurance Marketplace options to the employees. And if the employer does not adhere by this responsibility then he/she stands to be liable for the employee.
3. Fighting Against False Claim Acts
In the past years there has been a steady increase in false lawsuits, which are illegal under the FCA (False Claim Act). Most of the time, these type of cases lead to large settlements where the accused has to pay a hefty compensation to both the innocent victim and the government too, more or less for wasting everyone’s time. Hence, this shows that it is important for any employee to first understand the legal polices and law of their state and make their move in accordance to that. Consulting a knowledgeable and reputable attorney should be your first stop.

Bullying is not at all a new thing on the list. Over 25 states in US, including California have urged it to be one of the major employment issues at every sector. This is the reason why almost 16 bills are presently active around 11 states of US to gain complete protection from bullying at the workplace. Just when you though high school was over!?
