Your membership to CNCDA includes access to our electronic compliance resources on Comply, which you can access on our website (www.cncda.org). Since January 2023, over 20 resources on different topics have been added to Comply. In addition to our monthly bulletins and various dealer alerts, these include:

In February 2024, our new Employment Law Manual was added to this list. The manual, which can be downloaded as a 125-page PDF, includes a comprehensive discussion on a myriad of employment law compliance topics impacting California dealers. These topics include:
- Hiring
- Recordkeeping Obligations
- Wage & Hour
- Laws Prohibiting Discrimination, Harassment and Retaliation
- Leaves of Absence and Workplace Safety
- Privacy Rights
- End of Employment
Before developing any compliance manual, CNCDA consults with legal experts with extensive experience in the area. Because California law is complex and can differ greatly from federal law, and dealership operations present unique challenges, CNCDA ensures that the experts that we consult have deep knowledge in advising California dealerships.
Our new Employment Law is no different. CNCDA worked with expert legal counsel at Littler Mendelson P.C. over the course of many months to develop the content in the manual.
As we move deeper into 2024, you can expect to receive electronic copies of additional compliance resources. Development of our 2024 Franchise Law Manual is well underway and will cover important new topics related to CNCDA’s 2023 Franchise Bill (AB 473). Expect that manual and an accompanying webinar in Spring 2024.
As always, if you have any questions about any topic discussed on CNCDA Comply or about an issue involving California law, do not hesitate to call our legal hotline at (916) 441-2599. The hotline is yet another benefit that you receive as part of your membership.
