FAQs
Who should use Cal Comply’s Wage and Hour Training (Cal Comply)?
Any California business, nonprofit, or government entity with non-exempt/hourly employees.
What about our remote workers?
Cal Comply provides courses for employees working in an office, and separate trainings for remote employees. Remote workers can be tempted to violate your policies, even with good intentions. To avoid employee burnout and lawsuits, require all remote employees to complete the training, including sales, customer support, and other service-related roles.
What is our biggest risk?
The biggest legal threat to a California business is a class action or Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) lawsuit for violation of California’s wage and hour laws. Thousands of these lawsuits are filed against businesses each year. The typical costs to defend and resolve these cases range from $250,000 for a company with 50 or fewer employees, to $500,000+ for a company with over 250 employees. Avoiding these lawsuits starts with clear wage and hour policies. The second mandatory step is thorough training.
Doesn’t our employee handbook protect us?
No. An employee handbook is just the beginning. Without training on what your rules are and how they are actually applied, your business has a significant risk of being sued. Most businesses hit with huge wage and hour judgments have lawful employee handbooks.
How long does the training take?
Each employee completes the training individually. Each course includes multiple lessons with two seven-minute videos and text. In total, each Wage and Hour course takes 20–30 minutes to complete. Business owners can set up their account and add users in a matter of minutes, depending on the size of their company.
Should we train existing employees, or only new ones?
Yes. Train both. To abide by the law and protect your organization, all your employees need to have the same understanding of the law and your company policies. Cal Comply flows easily into new employee on-boarding processes.
We have never had issues with California employment laws and our people love us. Should we be concerned?
Unfortunately, yes. California has some of the most exhaustive and complex employment laws in the country. There are hundreds of potential Labor Code violations in California and thousands of lawyers ready to file lawsuits at every turn seeking penalties for everything from missed or untimely meal periods to inaccurate pay stubs or unsuitable seats. Although the harm from these violations is often minuscule, the potential penalties from a lawsuit quickly exceed hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Which employees should complete the training?
Everyone, including executives, sales, and even other employees whom you think are not a risk. Remote employees should also complete the training.
Do we really need to train our managers & supervisors?
Absolutely! Properly trained managers are your first line of defense in lessening the risk of a lawsuit. Supervisors who know the rules and hold employees accountable often lead more efficient, higher profit teams while simultaneously eliminating risks of a lawsuit.
Are there roles and privileges for certain users?
Yes, there are a few roles available. Admins can add/remove users, view reports, and manage the account. Managers can activate Training Kiosk Mode. Employees have a limited view where they can only take training courses and see their education history.
How do my employees take the training?
Cal Comply is available online via a browser so computers, tablets, and phones can all be used to access the training and complete it. You may also set the training up on one or multiple computers in “Kiosk Mode,” so employees can go to a computer in an office one at a time to complete the training.
How do I keep track of who completed the training?
Cal Comply automatically maintains records of everyone who has completed the training, passed the exam, and been certified. You can easily access the records and produce reports at any time.
Should we have our non-California employees take this training?
Any type of employment training can be beneficial for your employees. But Cal Comply was designed to address California’s labor and employment climate. Therefore, we cannot confirm Cal Comply trainings have value outside of people employed in the State of California.
When do I need a lawyer instead of Cal Comply?
Cal Comply trainings are intended for general information and educational purposes only and are not intended to be a substitute for legal advice or to provide legal guidance of any kind whatsoever. The trainings help empower your business and employees to comply with the most common wage and hour laws that are often brought by employees in lawsuits. Legal compliance starts with good training but requires good management and follow through as well. If legal advice or other expert assistance is required, the services of a competent professional should be sought.
