This session will help you understand some of the risky areas of California employment law and gain proactive tools to avoid liability.

Keeping up with employment law in California is, well, a challenge. While you know about harassment, discrimination and retaliation, what about other risky state law claims such as defamation, fraud/misrepresentation, negligent hiring and privacy? Add to that list dress codes, meal breaks, various leave laws, English only rules and training requirements. This information-packed session will teach you what you need to know and provide prevention tips into these and other risky areas of California law.
