Labor and Employment Training

The California Office of the Small Business Advocate (Cal OSBA) is teaming up with the California Chamber of Commerce (CalChamber) and the CalChamber Small Business Policy Council to bring small business owners a free, easy-to-understand webinar series on important labor and employment topics.

Why This Matters

Compliance with labor and employment law is critical to reducing liability and maintaining a productive workforce. Small businesses must stay informed about evolving employment laws and regulations to prevent penalties, wage disputes, and legal challenges. This training series provides expert guidance on employment laws that apply from recruiting and hiring, to wage and hour requirements, employee classification rules, employee leave rights, and other employer responsibilities—all designed to empower businesses to operate legally and efficiently while fostering a stable work environment.
