Employment Law for Law Firms 

Law firms and lawyers have employee problems too, and California’s complex employment laws often make those problems more difficult to resolve.  This program, presented by partners of the labor and employment law firm Fisher Phillips, will address common employment problems law firms face – and some solutions to those problems.  Designed for managing partners, firm administrators, and human resources managers, this presentation will cover topics such as:

• Why your staff are likely not taking compliant meal and rest breaks
• Use of independent contractors after Dynamex
• Why you should eliminate vacation for attorneys

Leaves of Absences and Accommodations

• Managing pregnancy, family and medical leaves
• Reasonable versus unreasonable accommodations
• Common leave mistakes that lead to lawsuits
• Paid sick leave and why you should separate sick leave and vacation for staff

Elimination of Bias in the #MeToo Era

• New Bar ethics rule addressing law firm discrimination and harassment 
• The most common causes of harassment claims today
