Legislation Limits AI Use In California Workplace Decisions (opens the original)
Read excerpt
New legislation targeting the role of artificial intelligence in workforce management is headed to California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Under SB 947, employers operating in California would be prohibited from allowing automated systems to serve as the sole basis for terminating or penalizing employees. Where such technology plays a significant role in disciplinary outcomes, the measure mandates that a human decision-maker independently evaluate the situation before any adverse action takes effect.

California’s Time-Rounding Reckoning: What Employers Need To Know Before The Supreme Court Speaks (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A practice that millions of California workers encounter every pay period — having their clock-in and clock-out times rounded to the nearest few minutes — may soon be declared unlawful. With Camp v. Home Depot USA Inc. now fully briefed before the California Supreme Court and oral argument on the horizon, employers face a simple question: is rounding still worth the risk? The financial exposure from time-rounding practices can be staggering. California allows unpaid wage claims to reach back fou
The Cost Of Minutes: California Supreme Court Set To Tackle Electronic Time Rounding (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For years, California employers have commonly used "rounding policies" — the adjusting of an employee's time punches either up or down to the nearest time increment.

(Rickes v. Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., et al., No. 25-5138 (9th Cir. Aug. 5, 2026)). The case arose from Scott Rickes’s Californ
Ninth Circuit Panel Casts Doubt On California’s Restrictions On Employer-Employee Meetings (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For years, employers operating in California have relied on employee meetings as a routine and effective way to share their perspective with employees on union drives, ballot measures, and other significant workplace subjects. That practice came under direct threat in 2025, when California's Worker Freedom from Employer Intimidation Act, known as S.B. 399, took aim at so-called "captive audience" sessions by making it unlawful for an employer to punish an employee for opting out of a meeting tou
