Although the next increase in the California minimum wage is still six months away, a number of local minimum wage hikes are set to take effect on July 1, 2016.
Employers need to prepare for the minimum wage increase and examine other pay practices that might be affected by the increase.

CAWA: A Telematics Whitepaper Developed by the Aftermarket
Probably the most important issue in the automotive industry today, telematics, is something you need to understand. See the enclosed "white-paper" (here) which describes telematic systems and the possibilities with the data derived from this system. You should also know that CAWA and the Auto Care Association have developed a "white-board" video that explains telematics in its simplest form (and was financially sponsored by Vantage Marketing Global, Inc.)
Also, don't forget that ASCCA has created the ASCCA Telematics Guiding Principles flyer to share with members and customers.
ASCCA Members Encouraged to Take Survey
CAWA is asking members of the auto care industry in California to share instances of new car dealers or manufacturers denying warranty coverage simply due to the use of a non-original equipment part or service.
