HR Regulation

In a game-changing ruling, California expanded protections for workers, placing the burden on employers to prove that workers are independent contractors, not employees.

The new regulations mean companies need to update processes around the lifecycle of basic employee personal data, such as health information and family details.

It's one step forward and two steps back as regulations are repealed at the federal level and then re-instituted by state and local governments.

The state's new "ABC" test will make it more difficult for companies to defend classifying workers as independent contractors.

When it comes to preparing for the new EU data privacy law, not all industries are created equal.

The agency extended the deadline after receiving a flood of requests from employers for technical assistance.
