  • Updates regarding meal and rest period class actions and new “best practice” compliance steps
  • Policy changes required by the California Supreme Court’s decision permitting same-sex marriages
  • Strategies for navigating difficult wage and hour issues such as regular rate calculations, tip pooling, the administrative exemption, wage statements and timekeeping policies
  • Medical leave rules
  • Guidance for avoiding disparate impact discrimination claims
  • Developments regarding retaliation claims
  • Recommendations for computer and email policies
  • New guidelines for employee arbitration agreements
  • Immigration enforcement and the “no-match letter safe harbor” program
  • Layoffs and reductions in force
  • And much more

    This will be a lively and entertaining seminar that should not be missed.
