Is that Legal in California? Best Practices for Every Company with Employees in the Golden State

2023 Annual
Participants will gain a solid understanding of the most significant legal risks employers face in California and learn practical ways to avoid risk.

Regardless if your company has ten or ten thousand employees in the California, employers must remain vigilant to survive the state's harsh employment law landscape.  During this session, Adam Rosenthal, a frequent SHRM speaker and employment law expert, will address the biggest areas of risk employers face in California. Participants will leave the session with practical advice and best practices to thrive in California while avoiding costly litigation.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify significant employment law compliance issues unique to California employers, from idiosyncratic wage and hour and payroll requirements to restrictive covenants, and everything in between.
  • Receive concrete and practical advice on how to improve compliance and mitigate risk factors.
  • Learn how to better train their non-California frontline managers when managing their California-based employees.

In-person session offerings are on a first-come, first-served basis.
