California Employment & Labor Laws & Deadlines

California provides strong employee protections through the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and Labor Code, with most employment discrimination claims having a one-year statute of limitations for filing with DFEH. The state requires overtime pay after 8 hours per day and mandates meal and rest breaks, with significant penalties for violations. California is an at-will employment state, but wrongful termination claims can proceed if firing violates public policy or anti-discrimination laws.
