Legal Update For HR Professionals 

State and Local Sick Leave Compliance
By Jennifer Brown Shaw and Alayna Schroeder, Shaw Law Group

Most California employers are obligated to provide paid sick leave to their employees under the Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Families Act of 2014.  However, many local governments within the state also have ordinances that require employers to provide sick leave-and many of the requirements are not the same as under the California law.  How does an employer meet all these sick leave obligations?

Member Spotlight

Bre Myres
 Recruiter/HR Partner
California Dental Association
SAHRA Member Since 2013

How long have y ou been working in HR and how has the industry changed over the years?
 
As a manager for 10 years, I had previous experience in HR functions. I have been working in an HR department for the last 3.5 years, starting as a Coordinator, then Administrator, and now a Recruiter/HR Partner. I absolutely love the work I get to do, the team I work with, and all the opportunities for learning. Lately we have seen HR shifting more towards being a strategic business partner and more proactive and moving away from being administrative, transactional and reactive. This transition is giving HR more opportunities to make a difference to the bottom line.
 
What advice would you give to someone just starting out their career in HR?
 
Don't be afraid to take on challenges and ask questions. Learn everything you can. HR is an experience-based industry and I believe the more you know and the more options you can relate to, the more successful you can be. Find a mentor who can help you get your foot in the door. And, of course join SAHRA!
