Staying on top of changing employment laws isn’t just a “nice to have” for small business owners and HR professionals. It’s a basic shield that keeps your organization out of legal trouble. Laws shift every year, sometimes in small tweaks and sometimes in sweeping changes that can catch even seasoned leaders off guard. And when something goes wrong, “I didn’t know” won’t soften penalties, back pay awards, attorney fees, or reputational damage. The responsibility to follow the rules still lands squarely on the employer, which means the cost of staying informed is always lower than the cost of being surprised.
That’s where SDEA steps in. Our team tracks new legislation, court decisions, agency guidance, and compliance trends so you don’t have to sift through legal jargon on your own. We translate the ever-moving legal landscape into practical steps you can actually use: policy updates, training recommendations, and clear guidance you can apply the same day. One of the best ways to stay grounded is by attending SDEA’s Annual Employment Law Update. In a single half-day, legal experts break down what changed, what matters most, and what you should be doing right now to protect your business. If you want to start the year confident, compliant, and ready for whatever Sacramento and Washington send your way, this is the room you want to be in.
