California employment law toolbox.
Free tools for the California employment-law questions that come up most — classification under AB 5 and final-pay timing. Built for employer-side compliance audits.
Classification
1099 contractor or W-2 employee?
California's ABC test (Lab. Code § 2775) is the single most-searched employment-law question in the state. Misclassification carries six-figure exposure between back wages, PAGA penalties, and EDD assessments.
Wages and final pay
Compensation timing.
California has the tightest final-pay rules in the country. Lab. Code §§ 201–203 require immediate payment on involuntary termination and impose up to 30 days of wages as a willful-late penalty.
Get the paperwork right before it becomes a claim.
Handbooks, employment agreements, contractor classification, wage-and-hour compliance — the preventive work that keeps California employers out of claims.
