ForevHR Consulting

California HR compliance consulting

California has some of the most demanding employment rules in the country, and most of them apply well before you have an HR department. I review what you have, tell you plainly where the gaps are, and help you close them with documentation your team can maintain.

Who this is for

  • California employers who have never had a formal HR review
  • Businesses crossing the 5, 15, 25 or 50 employee thresholds
  • Companies with hourly, tipped or multi-location staff
  • Out-of-state companies hiring their first California employees

What usually brings people here

  • The handbook was copied from a template or written for another state
  • Meal and rest break, overtime or final pay practices have never been checked
  • Leave requests and accommodations are handled case by case with no written policy
  • Required notices, trainings and postings may be missing
  • Worker classification — exempt, non-exempt, contractor — has not been reviewed

What ForevHR does

California-compliant handbook review

A line-by-line review and rewrite of your handbook against current California requirements, in language employees can read.

HR audit

A structured review of documents, personnel files, postings, trainings and day-to-day practices, with a prioritized fix list.

Wage and hour practices

Review of classification, break practices, overtime, timekeeping and final pay processes alongside your payroll provider.

Leave and accommodation policies

Written policies and workflows for sick leave, protected leaves and accommodation requests so responses stay consistent.

Documentation systems

Templates and file practices that give you a clear record if a claim or agency inquiry ever arrives.
