Focus & Representation
In California's ever-changing business environment, keeping up with the endless regulations, restrictions and codes can be a major challenge. CEA is one of the most comprehensive resources available to help employers comply with complex California and federal labor laws and regulations. Our network of researchers, legislative monitors and legal consultants provide the most accurate and timely legislative information available. And we don't stop there...

We'll guide you through preventive steps, and if significant changes do need to be made, we'll ensure they are carefully planned and implemented as efficiently as possible. In short, you can remain focused on running your business. CEA will watch your back every step of the way.
Representation
As a member of CEA, you receive the added benefit of professional representation if required. We can represent your firm in a variety of hearings, including unemployment, wage and hour, and labor commission hearings (not requiring an attorney by law).
If, at any time, your CEA Regional Manager determines that your case is moving in the direction of litigation and will require legal counsel - CEA will make an immediate referral to one of our retained legal firms, or if you prefer, they will work closely with your own attorney.
Negotiations
CEA has vast experience in both union and non-union environments. Effective negotiating tactics are critical in preventing workplace interruptions and protecting employer profitability. We can help negotiate your employee contracts, oversee collective bargaining agreements, and manage arbitration with your best interests in mind.
