California employers: Currently, if your company website runs analytics, pixels, or a chat tool that collects visitor data, those visitors can sue you under the California Invasion of Privacy Act ( **A).

However, that may change very soon. If becomes law by September 30th (today), only the Attorney General could bring one of the most common of these claims. Other claims would stay on the table.

Plaintiffs' lawyers are zeroing in on specific website tools and consent gaps. Find out if your site has them: www.eanetpc.com/news-insights/2026/september/californias-sb-690-would-narrow-not-end-website-/

California employers: if AI helps you monitor, discipline, or lay off employees, four (4) bills awaiting Governor Newsom's signature could change how you do it: SB 947, SB 951, AB 1883, and AB 1331.

For example, if SB 951 is signed, it could make employers who skip required notice owe back pay plus $500 a day in penalties. AB 1883 would ban AI tools that read employees' emotions.

The signing deadline is September 30, 2026 (in 6 days).

We broke down what each bill would require: www.eanetpc.com/news-insights/2026/september/california-employers-should-take-note-of-propose/

California's minimum wage will increase to $17.40 per hour on January 1, 2027. For most businesses, the more significant issue is what the change does to salaried staff.

California ties the exempt salary threshold to the minimum wage, so that figure rises as well. Anyone classified as exempt will need to earn at least $72,384 annually, up from $70,304. A worker paid below that threshold becomes non-exempt on January 1, meaning they are legally entitled to overtime pay, meal and rest premiums, and accurate time records.

Now is the time to identify salaried staff who fall short of the new threshold and confirm that they still meet the applicable duty requirements. Salary is only one part of what establishes an exemption.

It is also worth verifying the rate that applies where each person actually performs work, since numerous cities and counties maintain minimums above the state rate.

Employers with questions about classifications or payroll practices can contact us at Eanet, PC.

California employers received a clear signal about workplace privacy this month. The state's privacy regulator launched its first sectoral audit, and workforce data is squarely in scope.

The California Privacy Protection Agency will examine gig economy platforms for compliance with the Consumer Privacy Act, focusing on whether workers and consumers can actually exercise their right to know what information is collected and how it is used. The CCPA is the only comprehensive state privacy law that extends those rights to employees, applicants, and independent contractors.

Many businesses have established robust procedures for handling consumer requests while overlooking the data they collect from their own workforce. That gap is what the audit is designed to find.

For assistance with CCPA compliance or workforce data, contact us at Eanet, PC.

California employers with remote workers in other states received important guidance from a recent decision by the Court of Appeal.

In Saberin v. Alation, Inc., the court held that the state's no-arrest-record protections did not extend to an employee who lived and worked in Utah, was arrested in Florida, and was terminated by decisionmakers in Illinois. The employer's California headquarters was not a sufficient connection, nor was the choice-of-law clause in the parties' agreement.

What mattered was where the employee worked and where the termination was directed. Had California-based personnel substantively driven that decision, the outcome could have gone the other way.

California shareholders received an important affirmation of their statutory inspection rights in a recent California Court of Appeal decision. In Salamon v. Orchid Global, the court refused to enforce a Delaware corporation’s forum-selection bylaw where doing so would have required shareholders to pursue their California statutory inspection rights in another state.

The decision has implications for corporations incorporated outside California that nevertheless maintain offices or corporate records within the state. Under the court’s ruling, an out-of-state corporation cannot rely on its bylaws to redirect a qualifying California shareholder’s inspection claim to another jurisdiction when California law provides the shareholder with a right to inspect the corporation’s records.

By extending inspection rights to certain corporations with a California presence and limiting the ability of corporate bylaws to interfere with those rights, the court confirmed that California law provides protections that cannot be avoided simply because a corporation is organized under the laws of another state.

Starting a small business is an exciting milestone, but it also comes with legal risks that are often underestimated. Small businesses are the backbone of the U.S. economy, yet the data shows they face legal challenges far more often than many expect.

Here are several key statistics every business owner should know:

🔹Between 36% and 53% of small businesses face litigation or the threat of litigation each year.
🔹Approximately 45% of small businesses are dealing with an active legal dispute at a given time.
🔹Over the lifetime of a small business, the likelihood of facing a lawsuit is almost 90%.
🔹Small businesses take on an estimated $106 billion in commercial liability costs annually, despite having fewer resources than larger companies.
🔹Contract disputes are the most common type of business lawsuit, with roughly 12 million cases filed each year.

While these numbers are significant, many legal issues can be reduced or avoided with proactive planning. Working with a business attorney can help you put clear contracts in place, establish compliant policies, identify potential risks early, and navigate disputes more efficiently if they arise.

If you are starting a business or want to better protect the one you have built, contact us today to discuss how we can support you.
