Business & Industry Monthly Meet-up

It’s January, which means it’s time for our annual Employment Law Update 2026. We’re pleased to welcome back Sonya Kemp-Wilson, President of EveryBusiness HR Essentials, to walk us through the key employment law changes taking effect this year.

Sonya will cover major updates impacting employers of all sizes, including new rules on “stay or pay” contracts, employee notification requirements, unpaid wage enforcement, and expanded emergency contact regulations. These shifts add to the already complex compliance landscape facing California employers.

In addition to leading EveryBusiness HR Essentials, Sonya brings deep, practical HR expertise across a wide range of organizations and continues to share her knowledge through consulting and teaching.

Join us for a clear and timely overview of what employers need to know for 2026.
