  • Revised criminal history regulations.
  • Who can sue when individual PAGA claims have been compelled to arbitration?
  • Arbitration agreement was held unenforceable due to an unconscionable confidentiality agreement.

  • The new federal Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. 
  • The DOL issues new guidelines for the PUMP Act.
