6/24/16:  It’s been said that trends across the nation begin in California.  Now, according to a post by Jon Siders in Legal News & Compliance on the TriNet blog, new provisions of California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) could “… usher in a wave of tightened discrimination laws around the nation.”  It’s worth understanding the new FEHA regulations, which apply to California-based employers with five or more employees, but Siders’ explanation of the regulations gives non-California businesses a heads-up about what may be coming down the road.
