New Labor Code Section Prevents Employers from Using Out-of-State Choice of Laws Provisions in Contracts with California Employees -
On September 27, 2016 Governor Jerry Brown signed a new law impacting the contract rights of California employees.
Labor Code Section 925 imposes new limits on contract provisions that seek to impose choice of law and venue provisions. It applies to employment contracts involving employees who primarily reside and work in California. For example, a Minnesota corporation cannot have an enforceable agreement, which applies Minnesota law, with an employee who primarily resides and works in San Francisco.
