About Minimum Wage
Health care is about people taking care of people — and hospitals remain committed to strong wages for California’s health care workers. As we continue to invest in California’s health care workforce, we must be vigilant to avoid impediments to the delivery of the care patients need and deserve.
PAGA Overhaul Means Reduced Fines for Employers, Greater Opportunity to Correct Mistakes
What’s happening: Earlier this month, Gov. Newsom and legislative leadership announced sweeping changes to the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) intended to disincentivize costly lawsuits while protecting employees’ ability to bring claims against employers that violate the law.
