Do I need to be in Los Angeles to work with AlzaHR?

No. We have clients in Los Angeles and work with LA teams remotely and on site. Most day-to-day work happens through your private client portal, email and scheduled calls.

Is this fractional HR or outsourced HR?

It's an HR partnership. Like fractional or outsourced HR, you get senior HR expertise without a full-time hire. The difference is that one experienced HR leader stays with you, learns your people and business, and keeps everything moving through a shared portal.

Do you know California employment law?

Yes. We work with California employers on the state and local rules above, and we keep policies, offer letters and handbooks current as those rules change. For legal opinions we coordinate with your employment counsel.

California HR

What's different about HR in Los Angeles

California wage and hour rules

Daily overtime, meal and rest breaks and same-day final pay apply here too, and wage claims are one of the most common risks for growing LA employers.

City of Los Angeles requirements

LA has its own minimum wage, paid sick leave and fair chance hiring ordinance, which limits when you can ask about criminal history.

Contractors vs. employees

California's ABC test makes it hard to classify workers as contractors. Creative and production companies especially need to get this right.

Pay transparency

Employers with 15 or more employees must post pay scales and keep pay data records. A clear compensation framework keeps hiring moving.

Harassment prevention training

California requires harassment prevention training for supervisors and employees at companies with 5 or more employees, on a set schedule. We can deliver it in English or Spanish.

A general overview, not legal advice. Rules change, and we keep your policies current as they do.
