Employers Beware: California Has Expanded the List of Unlawful Contracts with Employees

Published: November 18, 2025

by Lizbeth (Beth) V. West
The Labor & Employment Law Blog

On October 13, 2025 Governor Newsom signed into law Assembly Bill (“AB”) 692 which is another law allegedly aimed at preventing contracts deemed to be a restraint on trade. Employers should be aware of the new law as it could significantly impact their ability to enter into, and/or enforce, certain contracts with employees for the repayment of a debt.

Furloughs Extending Beyond a Standard Pay Period Are Treated as Terminations

Published: November 14, 2025

The Labor & Employment Law Blog

For some industries, and in particular, construction, periods of slow work are inevitable.  When no work is available, many employers place their employees on “furlough” – an unpaid, non-working status, but still on the Company “books” – because the employer doesn’t want to deal with terminating and re-hiring the employee.  In California, an employer may temporarily furlough but only if the furlough is truly short-term. Under longstanding guidance from the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE) which was confirmed by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in Hartstein v. Hyatt Corporation, the label of “furlough” or “temporary layoff” is not decisive; what matters is the lack of a specific return-to-work date within that pay period.  As such, a furlough that extends beyond the length of the employer’s regular pay period is considered a termination or “layoff” for wage-and-hour purposes.
