How the guides are written
Each guide is written from California statutes and official agency guidance, such as the Civil Rights Department, the Department of Industrial Relations, Cal/OSHA, the EDD, and the U.S. EEOC.
Every guide lists its sources and shows a "Last reviewed" date. Specific numbers, deadlines, and employer size rules link to the official page they came from.
The guides do not describe outcomes, settlement amounts, or win rates, and they do not tell anyone that they have a claim.
Laws change
California employment law changes often, and agencies update their guidance. Check the official source linked on each page, and talk to a lawyer before you rely on any deadline.
