California Employment Law Specialists Based in Los Angeles
We bridge the gap between California employment law complexity and business success.
HR Bridge Partners was founded on a simple insight: California employment law is fundamentally different from other states, yet most HR consultants treat it the same as everywhere else.
That's a costly mistake.
California has PAGA—a law that allows one employee to sue on behalf of your entire workforce. California requires overtime pay after 8 hours in a day (not just 40 per week). California mandates immediate final paychecks when you terminate someone—or you pay penalties up to 30 days of wages.
We focus exclusively on California employment law because that's what California businesses need.
Depth beats breadth when it comes to employment law
We only provide guidance on laws we know inside and out. No guessing, no generic federal-only advice that misses California-specific requirements.
While other consultants spread themselves across 50 states, we invest all our time staying updated on California law changes, court decisions, and enforcement trends.
You're not paying for breadth you don't need. You're paying for California-specific expertise that actually protects your business from PAGA, FEHA, and wage & hour violations.
California has 40 million people and 4+ million businesses. We can build a world-class practice serving just California—and deliver better results for you.
Every policy, every handbook, every piece of advice starts with California law—not federal law adapted to California.
We review every HR practice through the lens of PAGA exposure. One violation multiplied by your workforce can create significant liability.
California compliance isn't just about knowing the law—it's about implementing it in your business. We give you tools, templates, and training.
