What if I’m not an HR expert—will this course still help me?
Absolutely. This course was created specifically for HR professionals and small business owners who need a clear, straightforward way to understand California employment law. No legal background required—we break down complex topics into easy-to-follow lessons and give you real-world examples you can apply immediately.
How do I know this information is accurate and up to date?
Great question. The course is built and led by Laurie Chua, an HR expert witness with 25+ years of experience in California employment compliance. You'll also receive lifetime access to updates, so whenever laws change or new templates are added, you’re covered.
What if I still have questions after watching the videos?
You’re not on your own. The program includes live monthly Q&A sessions where you can get your questions answered directly, plus guidance on how to apply what you’ve learned to your unique business situation. It’s more than a course—it’s your ongoing compliance support system.
How is this different from just Googling, using ChatGPT or using free HR resources?
Free tools like Google or ChatGPT can be helpful for quick searches, but they often provide generic, incomplete, or outdated information—and they rarely account for California’s complex and ever-changing employment laws. Even AI tools can get it wrong.
This course delivers clear, accurate, California-specific guidance, built by a certified HR expert witness with over 30 years of hands-on experience. I’ve taught both SHRM and HRCI California compliance programs, so you’re learning from someone who understands how to translate legal requirements into real-world HR practices that work.
Unlike those programs—which can cost hundreds or even thousands—this training is offered at a fraction of the cost, with lifetime updates and practical templates you can implement right away.
How much time will this save me?
This program distills what would take weeks of reading, Googling, or consulting into one power-packed hour. You’ll know exactly what to do—and what to avoid—to stay compliant and protect your business.
