We don’t blame you for feeling the pressure of constant shifts in California labor laws, rising employee costs, and new compliance rules for 2024. In our state, it’s no longer just about providing excellent patient care—now you’re dealing with endless administrative and financial burdens that can make or break your practice.
Minimum Wage Increases
- SB 525: Healthcare workers’ minimum wage will rise to $23/hour by June 2024, including nursing assistants, medical technicians, and janitorial workers. This will further increase by $1 per year until reaching $25/hour.
Expanded Employee Benefits
- SB 616: All full- and part-time workers are now entitled to a minimum of five paid sick days annually.
- SB 848: They are also entitled to five days of leave for reproductive loss, including miscarriage, failed adoption, or unsuccessful artificial insemination.
New Employment Rights
- AB 2188: Employers cannot penalize employees for cannabis use off duty.
- SB 497: Employees are protected from retaliation when discussing or inquiring about wages.
Not to mention the increase in minimum wage to $20 per hour for fast food employees as of this April, these updates make it increasingly difficult for medical professionals to maintain profitability while also ensuring compliance with ever-changing laws. Managing employee turnover, balancing sick leave, and juggling administrative tasks now demand more resources than ever.
