Keeping up with employment law in California is, well, a challenge. With over 30 new laws in 2013 and 2014, the legislature has been very active and you need to keep up-to-date. This session covers new changes to laws concerning inspection of personnel files, sexual harassment definition, new protected characteristics, wage and hour, religion and accommodation, whistleblower and immigration, and more. This information-packed session will teach you what you need to know and provide prevention tips so you can avoid those HR mistakes in the Golden State.
