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

California employers continue to face many new challenges as a result of an active legislature and court system – and now local governments are making new laws too. Several cities, including Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco, have enacted their own minimum wage and paid sick leave ordinances. The U.S. Department of Labor plans to dramatically raise the salary threshold for white-collar overtime exemptions this December, new state and federal rules on transgender employees have been issued and unions and plaintiffs’ lawyers are busier than ever. This fast-moving program will cover the essentials you need to know in order to address these challenges.

Topics:

• Untangling Local Paid Sick Leave Ordinances
• New Minimum Wage, Exempt Salary Threshold, Piece-Rate Pay and Other Wage-Hour Issues
• My Employee Just Switched Genders! Now What?
• When Your Employee Is On Workers’ Comp Leave, Other Laws Apply Too
• Unions Are Very Busy Now. Are You Prepared?
• How A Plaintiff’s Lawyer Will Obtain An Eight-Figure Verdict Against Your Company
