Staying Current with Employment Labor Laws in 2025



Employment labor laws — covering areas such as minimum wage, discrimination protections, unemployment insurance, paid sick leave, family leave, and workplace safety — are frequently updated and vary significantly across states, counties, and cities. For businesses, staying compliant with these constantly evolving regulations is not just a legal obligation but also a safeguard against costly penalties and lawsuits.



Did you know?



While the federal minimum wage has remained unchanged at $7.25/hour since 2009, many states and local jurisdictions continue to raise their own minimum wage rates annually. For example, in 2025, California’s statewide minimum wage has increased again, with additional higher local rates in places like Los Angeles and San Francisco. This means that the labor law poster hanging in your breakroom from 2024 may be out of date — and under federal and state posting laws, employees are entitled to be properly informed of their rights through current, accurate notices.



Here are some proactive steps your business can take to stay in compliance with employment labor laws this year:






1. Hire or Consult a Labor Law Expert
Having access to a legal expert or employment attorney who understands the complexities of labor law — especially within your specific industry — can help you navigate tricky issues, from wage and hour disputes to discrimination claims, and ensure your policies align with current regulations.






2. Assign an Internal Compliance Lead
If your company operates across multiple states or jurisdictions, designate an employee (often within HR or compliance) to monitor labor law updates. State and local laws frequently change — having a point person helps ensure mandatory updates aren’t overlooked, especially in multi-location businesses.






3. Set Up a Labor Law Poster Compliance Subscription
Even if your internal lead isn’t a labor law expert, you can outsource poster compliance! All In One Poster Company offers 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year compliance plans where we automatically send you updated posters whenever mandatory changes occur. This eliminates the guesswork and ensures you always display current employee notices.

4. Partner with an Employer of Record (EOR)
For businesses with remote teams, international employees, or complex employment arrangements, an EOR can handle payroll, taxes, unemployment insurance, workers’ comp, onboarding, and W-2 filings — reducing compliance headaches and freeing your team to focus on core business.






5. Provide Ongoing HR Training and Resources
Your HR team should receive regular training on legal changes, attend relevant courses, and stay informed through memberships in professional associations (like SHRM or local HR councils). Encourage them to monitor updates from the U.S. Department of Labor, state labor agencies, and credible HR publications to strengthen internal knowledge.
