Happy New Year! We hope you had a wonderful holiday season with some time off to relax and enjoy your favorite things. Now, it’s back to work and time to catch up on some of the employment law updates that rolled in with the new year. As we mentioned last month, there were quite a few updates that took effect, so the next two blog posts will be focused on reviewing some of these updates.

Minimum Wage Report  
The new year always ushers in new minimum wage rates. Be sure to check out your jurisdictions in our Minimum Wage report to see if there are updates. If you use the Reference Center to access the Minimum Wage report, you will be able to use our new [content smart links](https://blog.compliancehr.com/compliancehr-updates/new-content-smart-links) which allow you to create links that you can save or share.

Navigator Leave Forms  
Our Navigator Leave Forms have been updated to include [California’s expansion of the definition of “family member” to include a designated person](https://www.littler.com/publication-press/publication/new-california-designated-person-standards-could-further-complicate). These changes affected the Request for Leave, Notice of Eligibility, and Designation Notice forms. Navigator Leave forms are accessible through the Navigator Leave card.

Navigator Leave Rapid Reference  
If you have questions about permissible reasons for leave and California’s updated family member definition, be sure to check out the Navigator Leave Rapid Reference, accessible through the Reference Center and the Navigator Leave card. This solution also has some additional information about [Colorado’s Paid Family and Medical Leave](https://www.littler.com/publication-press/publication/colorado-issues-final-rules-benefits-and-employer-participation), found under Use of Paid Time Off Benefits.

Paid Sick Leave Report  
Check out the Paid Sick Leave report to see updated information on payment of leave for [Colorado’s Paid Family and Medical Leave](https://www.littler.com/publication-press/publication/colorado-issues-final-rules-benefits-and-employer-participation). This is also a great opportunity to check out the [new Paid Sick Leave report](https://blog.compliancehr.com/compliancehr-updates/new-paid-sick-leave-report), accessible through the Navigator Leave card and through the Reference Center, where you will find extra features.

Navigator Onboarding  
If you are in Colorado, you are now required to provide notification about the state’s paid family and medical leave program. Our Offer Letter, accessible through Navigator Onboarding, has been updated with verbiage regarding this notification.

[Rhode Island’s salary history ban](https://www.littler.com/publication-press/publication/rhode-island-enacts-comprehensive-pay-equity-law) took effect on the first of the year. The job application in Navigator Employ has been updated to reflect this change.

Be sure to check out next week's blog because we will cover a few more of the new 2023 updates.  If you have any questions, please contact [support@compliancehr.com](mailto:support@compliancehr.com).
