Without realizing the potential consequences, organizations make some very common mistakes that create significant liability for you in California.What may seem to make good, business sense is often completely in violation of law. Many of these mistakes happen because the laws are not always intuitive, yet many are avoidable through better management training and consistent practices. We will explore the most common mistakes with some real world examples. This session will help you:

  • Identity which of the most common mistakes may be happening in your organization.
  • Understand how such areas as Final Paychecks, Workers' Comp, Overtime, Independent Contractors, Training, Pay, COBRA, Handbooks, FMLA/CFRA, and Probation should/should not be handled to avoid potential litigation.
  • Learn from real-world stories and how they might have been handled differently.
