CHAMBER WARNS EMPLOYERS TO CHANGE HIRING PRACTICES FOR 2018

Over the next couple of months the Oxnard Chamber will be running a series of articles about changes in employment laws for 2018. Since California has a fulltime legislature which introduces thousands of bills every year, there is certainly no shortage of new laws that all employers must comply with. Today we will look at hiring practices.
