California and federal wage and hour laws are complex, particularly in a hospital environment. Keeping current on meal and rest period rules, overtime obligations, and pay stub and payday obligations is a challenge for hospitals and health systems of any size.

CHA offers members an annual Labor and Employment Law seminar, which brings hospital human resources executives up-to-date information on wage and hour issues. In addition, CHA issues member memoranda on significant developments. CHA devotes resources at both state and federal levels to advocate on behalf of hospitals with regard to legislation, regulations and enforcement activity.
