In the complex landscape of California employment law, a generic handbook isn't enough. At ELE Consulting, Inc., we believe that true HR compliance is found at the intersection of rigorous legal standards and efficient business operations.

Founded by David Ehrlich, a licensed California attorney and seasoned Director of Operations, the employers we work with aren't bad actors. They're business owners focused on patients, customers, and staff—not the Labor Code. Most have never heard of the derivative penalty structure. Many learn about the 4:59 Rule for the first time during our initial consultation.

The problem isn't intent. It's complexity.

California wage and hour law is extraordinarily detailed, frequently updated, and genuinely difficult to operationalize in a busy workplace. Knowing a rule exists is one thing. Building the daily systems, software settings, and payroll protocols that keep you compliant—consistently, across every location, for every employee—is another challenge entirely.

That's the gap we fill.

As a California attorney with 20+ years running operations, we built EhrlichHR for employers who want to do the right thing and need a partner who understands both the legal standard and the operational reality of actually achieving it.

Our audits don't just identify violations. They provide the roadmap to fix them.
