California's laws specifically govern the manner in which employers implement health plans and retirement pension payments. Recipients of such benefit plans can file claims using these laws. Also, if a Palo Alto employer guaranteed any benefits to the employer in a contract when work began, they must make good on these.

Sometimes benefits are paid directly by the employer, while other instances of benefits require voluntary contributions from the worker. Also note that there can be a required minimum amount of time spent working for the employer in order for the employee to receive benefits. Those employers who provide medical plans for employees owe certain legal duties under California law to those they cover. They must disclose important information about the health plans, and employees are entitled to a fair process in the treatment of their claims under the plan.
