In California, your employer can't forbid you from disclosing your wages, make you sign a waiver of that right, or discipline you for talking about pay (Labor Code §232). The Equal Pay Act goes further: it also protects asking about and discussing coworkers' wages to look into possible pay discrimination (§1197.5(k)). If you're punished within 90 days of exercising these rights, the law presumes retaliation.

Every case we take is on the side of the employee. We don't represent companies, so there's never a question about whose interests come first. From hourly workers to senior executives, our clients come to us after being fired, harassed, discriminated against, retaliated against, or underpaid. If something at work doesn't feel right, reach out and tell us what happened.

On September 30, Governor Newsom signed four new laws that put limits on how employers use AI and surveillance at work.

SB 947, the “No Robo Bosses Act,” bars employers from relying solely on an automated decision system to discipline or fire a worker. When AI plays a major role in one of those decisions, a person must review it and the worker must get written notice. It takes effect July 1, 2027.

SB 951 requires mass layoff notices under California's WARN Act to disclose when the layoff results in whole or in substantial part from AI or automation.

AB 1883 bars employers from using AI surveillance tools to infer workers' emotional states or to collect their neural data, and AB 1331 bans workplace surveillance tools in bathrooms.

Governor Newsom vetoed a broader version of the No Robo Bosses Act last year. These new laws are among the first of their kind in the country.

In California, employers with 15 or more employees must list a good-faith pay range in every job posting. If you already work there, you have the right to ask for the pay scale for your current position, and any employer must give an applicant the pay scale on reasonable request. Since January 1, 2026, the “pay scale” must be a good-faith estimate of what the employer reasonably expects to pay.

Being paid a salary doesn't automatically make you “exempt” from overtime in California. In 2026, most exempt employees must earn at least $70,304 a year, and they must also pass a duties test: primarily doing exempt work (more than half their time) and regularly using discretion and independent judgment. If your employer calls you exempt but you don't meet both parts, you may be owed overtime.

On September 22, the EEOC announced that North American Stamping Group will pay $620,000 to settle a federal lawsuit alleging that its subsidiaries discriminated against more than a dozen women at its Tennessee plants from 2018 to 2025. According to the EEOC, the company limited women's promotions, kept them out of apprenticeship programs, and failed to adequately address complaints of unwanted s*xual attention and demeaning remarks. The settlement also requires two years of EEOC monitoring, training, and regular reporting of complaints. When an employer ignores harassment complaints, it can face both money damages and years of oversight.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. California law protects workers who are survivors of domestic violence, s*xual assault, stalking, or other qualifying acts of violence. Every employer must allow time off to seek a restraining order or other court relief. Employers with 25 or more employees must also allow leave for things like medical care, counseling, safety planning and relocation. You can use your paid sick leave or vacation for this time, your employer must keep it confidential, and it can't retaliate against you.

We're proud to share that Rise Law Firm has been ranked for the first time in the Chambers Spotlight 2026 California guide, in Labor & Employment: Mainly Plaintiffs.

For nearly four decades, Chambers and Partners has published independent, research-based rankings of lawyers and law firms. Its rankings are based in part on confidential interviews with clients, not just on what firms say about themselves, and there's no charge for a firm to be considered. Its Spotlight guides recognize small and mid-sized firms.

Thank you to the clients and colleagues who trusted us and spoke with Chambers. We're grateful for the recognition, and we'll keep fighting for employees across California.

Tomorrow, October 8, is Latina Equal Pay Day. It marks how far into 2026 Latina workers must work to catch up to what white, non-Hispanic men were paid in 2025. According to Equal Pay Today, a national pay-equity campaign run by the women's rights organization Equal Rights Advocates, Latinas are paid 53 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men when all earners are counted, and 60 cents among full-time, year-round workers. California's Equal Pay Act requires equal pay for substantially similar work regardless of s*x, race or ethnicity, and it protects your right to discuss and ask about coworkers' pay.
