"No one was injured, so the workplace violence incident does not need to be logged.”

Not necessarily. Covered California employers must document qualifying workplace violence incidents, even when no physical injury occurs.

Unsure what needs to be documented? Contact Bradley + Wellerstein at 818-243-5200 for guidance.

FAQ: Employee vs. Independent Contractor in California

Understanding worker classification is critical for compliance and avoiding costly penalties.

In California, the ABC Test is commonly used to determine classification.

Under this standard, a worker is more likely to be considered an employee if the hiring entity controls how, when, and where the work is performed.

Misclassifying workers as independent contractors can result in significant legal and financial consequences.

If you have questions about classification or compliance, our team is here to help you navigate the rules with confidence.

⚖️ Employers Are Not Mind Readers

Employers are often faced with situations where an employee begins displaying unusual behavior without disclosing any medical condition or requesting an accommodation.

A recent California case, Husband v. Target Corporation (2026), confirms that employers are not required to diagnose a disability based on observation alone.

An employer is only deemed to have “knowledge” of a disability when the condition is the only reasonable explanation for the behavior.

The obligation to engage in the interactive process begins when a disability is reasonably apparent, not assumed.

Unsure how to handle a situation like this in your workplace?

California Minimum Wage is Increasing July 1, 2026

Several cities across California will see new minimum wage increases, with rates varying by location and continuing to exceed state-level standards.

Employers should stay aware of local wage laws, industry requirements, and compliance changes to ensure they are meeting all obligations.

When multiple wage laws apply, the highest rate typically governs.

If you have questions about how these changes impact your business, contact the employment law attorneys at Bradley + Wellerstein to ensure you remain compliant. Call 818-243-5200
