We welcome you to attend our 2015 Annual Employment Law Update Seminar. This new year will bring about several important changes in the arena of employee relations and employment law compliance. Between Governor Brown feverishly signing new bills into law and recent developments in case law, employers of all shapes and sizes need to understand how to comply with changes to their employment law obligations. As always, our team of employment law attorneys will be on hand to educate and discuss with you the state of the law, as well as provide valuable insights, to help you stay in compliance in 2015.
The focus of this employment law update will include:
- California’s mandatory paid sick leave law
- Minimum wage increases—statewide and municipal ordinances
- Enforceability of class action waivers in employment arbitration agreements
- San Francisco’s “ban the box” restriction on criminal inquiries in connection with background checks
- Reimbursement for employees’ use of personal cell phones for business purposes
- Anti-bullying training as part of mandatory harassment prevention training for supervisors
- Partial day vacation/sick leave deductions for exempt employees
- Expanded time off for employees serving as “emergency rescue personnel”
- New pregnancy discrimination laws
- Potential franchisor liability for franchisee’s employment law violations
- Increased employer obligations in the event of a data breach
- Employee anti-poaching agreements
- Other critical legislative, administrative, and case law developments affecting California employers
