Employment Law Update

This year’s new California employment laws stand out by the extent to which they require virtually all employers to take proactive steps to comply. Attend this seminar to learn how to:

• Update sick leave and/or PTO policies to comply with California’s new sick leave law, including new insights that can be gleaned from the California Labor Commissioner’s recently published answers to FAQs
• Amend leave policies and practices under anticipated new CFRA regulations
• Comply with a new California court ruling that requires reimbursement for employees’ business use of personal cell phones
• Adjust pay rates to comply with new minimums for exempt computer software professionals and non-exempt workers
• Modify anti-harassment training to include prevention of “abusive conduct,” under a new state law

The program will also review several new developments in the area of wage and hour law, noteworthy recent lawsuits, settlements and verdicts, and a variety of other hot topics.

Time will be reserved for Q & A.

All attendees will take away copies of slides and additional, supporting written materials.
