Client Alert: ECJ’s Employment Department Launches Employer Audit Compliance Service

Beverly Hills, CA – [March 25, 2025] – Ervin Cohen & Jessup LLP is excited to announce the launch of its new Employer Audit Compliance Service, designed to assist employers in navigating recent changes to California labor law, including those stemming from Assembly Bill 2288 and Senate Bill 92.

This innovative service is led by Kelly O. Scott, Jared W. Slater, and Catherine A. Veeneman, who bring their expertise in employment law to help businesses ensure compliance and avoid costly penalties. With the passage of these laws, which have offered some relief to employers, it is critical for businesses to act proactively to ensure they meet all necessary compliance requirements.

One of the key components of this service is assisting employers in taking “all reasonable steps” to comply with labor regulations. Under the reforms to The Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 (PAGA), employers who demonstrate they’ve taken reasonable steps—such as conducting periodic payroll audits, disseminating lawful policies, training supervisors, and taking corrective actions—can dramatically reduce potential penalties.

The Employer Audit Compliance Service is designed to give employers peace of mind by offering practical, cost-effective solutions for managing compliance risk. These packages offer the flexibility to meet the unique needs of each business, ranging from small businesses to larger enterprises. By providing personalized guidance and actionable solutions, this program empowers employers to take proactive steps toward maintaining compliance and minimizing their exposure to costly legal risks.

For additional information about the program please contact Jared W. Slater, Esq. or Catherine A. Veeneman, Esq. at Ervin Cohen & Jessup LLP.
