California Fair Employment and Housing Amendments Cheat Sheet

Content Summary

California's 2025 FEHA amendments, effective October 1, 2025, establish comprehensive regulations for employers using automated decision systems (ADS) and AI tools in employment decisions. The regulations apply to California employers with 5+ employees and cover technologies including resume screeners, video interview analysis, automated assessments, and targeted job advertising. Key elements include maintaining 4-year records of ADS use and outcomes, notifying applicants when an ADS is used, conducting adverse impact testing on protected groups, providing reasonable accommodations where automated systems may discriminate, and separating demographic data from personnel files. This cheat sheet provides employers with a quick reference to understand applicability, key definitions, notice and recordkeeping obligations, and exemptions to help maintain compliance with California's anti-discrimination requirements for employment technology.
