Employment Law in Santa Ana, CA

From July 2025 to August 2025, labor trends in California have changed. While the unemployment rate has stayed the same at 5.5%, employment has increased by 1,100.

In the state of California, all employers are required to follow certain employment laws. While these vary from state to state, California’s employment laws are known for being rather strict, often working in favor of employees. The landscape of employment law has changed significantly in the last decade, allowing for more protection on behalf of employees.

Employee Protections in California

Some ways in which employees are protected under the law include the following:

Reclassification of independent contractors. Employees who were once classified as independent contractors are now required to be categorized as employees, which grants them more benefits.
Enhanced support for PTSD-impacted employees. Employees who deal with traumatic instances at work, such as first responders, are now receiving additional resources according to their needs.
COVID-19 protections. Employees who are experiencing long-term effects from COVID-19 can enjoy certain health benefits.
Advancements in job equality. Additional advancements have been made regarding equality between various classes of people in the workplace.

Filing an Employment Claim

The type of complaint or claim you are filing will determine exactly how long you have to file after the incident, as well as what steps you may be able to take afterward. Employees filing claims regarding discrimination or harassment have up to three years to file a complaint with the Civil Rights Department. Other scenarios, such as filing for undelivered pay, can be done within two to four years, depending on whether the agreement was oral or included a written contract.

Where you file your claim will also depend on the specific type of claim you are filing. You may file at the following locations:

State issues concerning wages: California’s Labor Commission Office, 770 E Shaw Ave #222, Fresno, CA 93710 .
State issues concerning discrimination: California Civil Rights Department, 722 Capitol Mall, Sacramento, CA 95814.
