California HR issues

Is anyone out there familiar with California specific HR issues? I have had the question asked of me if I was familiar with California HR issues. I interpret that to mean employment law, etc. Can you direct me to a site or advise me on the issues (FMLA?) that are different in California? Many thanks in advance for your time.

In short, I think your best bet would be to latch onto some California-specific resources (like the California Employment Law Letter or equivalent) and just start studying. Good luck.
Particular websites or the Department of Insdutrial Relations (Califrnials DOL) that constains the Indsutrial Welfare Commission Wage ORders and the enforcment policy of DIR.

and the California Labor Code which contains the specifics of most provisions of Calfiornia wage and hour law and other requirements.
But non-discrimination, FMLA/CFRA, California's ADA, pregnancy are all dealt with by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing.

Provisions on CFRA, non-discrimination, pregnancy and California's ADA are in the Calfiornia Government Code.

This website and the newsletter are great resources too.
Good luck!
