For employers with California employees, there seems to be no way to avoid California’s complicated and protective employment laws, and things just got a bit more complicated.On September 25, 2016, Governor Brown signed into law SB 1241, which prohibits employers from requiring California employees to litigate or arbitrate employment disputes outside of California or under the laws of another state.SB 1241 applies to any contract entered into, modified, or extended on or after January 1, 2017. The new law prohibits so called “choice of law” and “forum selection” clauses that require employees who live and work in California to bring their employment claims in jurisdictions other than California or under the laws of another state.  Any provisions of a contract that contain prohibited choice of law and forum selection clauses are voidable by an employee, meaning that the dispute will be decided in California under California law.  The law also … [Read more...] about SB 1241: Forum Selection and Choice of Law Clauses – Long Arm of California Law Just Got Longer

Existing California law provides that parties to an employment contract may select the state law governing their agreements, including the venue to litigate disputes.The common practice of using forum selection clauses and choice-of-law provisions regarded as more favorable to employers evolved out of California’s prohibition on non-compete clauses under California Business & Professions Code Section 16600.  This practice is often used by employers as a means to adjudicate controversies with employees in a jurisdiction with laws that are more beneficial to employers.However, effective January 1, 2017, employers are prohibited from requiring that employees living and working in California adjudicate claims outside the state or agree that the laws of another state will govern their employment agreements and related disputes.  In short, the employer may not deprive the employee of the protections of California law and the convenience of seeking redress in a … [Read more...] about SB 1241 Prevents Employers from Contracting Around California’s Employee-Friendly Laws

By Megan Barnes | [email protected] | Daily BreezePUBLISHED: June 5, 2018 at 6:26 pm | UPDATED: June 5, 2018 at 7:16 pm Inglewood residents on Tuesday will consider a pair of ballot measures that would clear the way for the city and its school district to move elections and extend the terms of most elected officials by one year. Polls close at 8 p.m. and results will be posted on the Daily Breeze website and lavote.net. In the past two years, virtually every city and school district in the South Bay has moved elections to in order to comply with SB 415, a state law that aims to boost dwindling voter turnout in local elections by having them take place on the same day as statewide races that bring out a bigger crowd. Because Inglewood is a charter city, the change must be approved by voters. Measure SE would amend the Inglewood City Charter to move elections from April of odd-numbered years to March or November of even-numbered years starting in 2020, coinciding with statewide primary … [Read more...] about Live results: Inglewood voters consider new election rules via Measures SE and ID

Just try working with such state agencies as the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency and the state Coastal Commission sometime.
