In California, as in any state, new legislation comes through all the time that affects corporations and their employees. Part of Daniel Chammas’ job is to keep his clients abreast of all of the new legislation coming through the California Congress. Chammas advises his clients on the constantly changing regulations they have to comply with. He also writes for many legal publications about what businesses can do to comply with changing laws, and how lawyers throughout the industry can advise their clients better. One of the most recent pieces of legislature that Chammas wrote about was California Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Families Act of 2014. When the law goes into effect in July 2015, virtually all employers in the state of California will be required to give their employees sick leave. In the past, small nonprofits and others were exempted from this law. Daniel Chammas wrote an article called “New California Law Will Require Nonprofits to Provide California Employees with Paid Sick Leave,” in 2014 explaining the particular provisions of the new legislation and how all corporations in California can comply with the new regulations.
