California Employers on the Front Lines: What You Need to Know

Fisher Phillips 2017 California Seminars

Event

Multiple Locations 
Please See Below

September 7 - 28, 2017
Times: Please see below

California employers continue to face many legal challenges. The California Fair Employment and Housing Council finalized two sets of regulations that went into effect on July 1 covering permissible use of criminal history information and transgender discrimination. Legalized marijuana is coming to California even though it is still prohibited under federal law, and many questions are arising about employers’ right to continue to maintain a drug-free workforce. A new court ruling requires that employees who are paid on commission must get separate compensation for their legally required rest periods. Leaves of absence continue to be a leading cause of employment lawsuits, and the California legislature is busy again this year writing even more legislation regulating employers.

This fast paced program will cover the following topics:

  • New criminal convictions regulations
  • New regulations on transgender employees and applicants
  • Calculating paid rest breaks for commissioned employees
  • Marijuana in the workplace
  • Continuing challenges of leaves of absence
  • Update on pending legislation
