About This IAML AudioPro ConferenceSM:
Anyone who has managed a workforce in California knows that virtually all of the legal rules are different here. This audio
conference will summarize the latest labor and employment law developments impacting employers.
In addition to the topics below, this presentation will address new laws and other key California court decisions that may affect your workplace in 2006 and beyond.
You will learn about:
- Why employers are facing a greater risk of liability from workplace romance (as a result of the California Supreme Court's decision to recognize "sexual favoritism" claims);
- How an employer's decision to discipline an employee who refused to comply with their supervisor's order created an actionable claim for retaliation;
- The latest issues under both the California Family Rights Act and Family and Medical Leave Act;
- "New" wage and hour issues - "minor" violations can add up to major dollars;
- Employers' training obligations under AB1825 (and what the regulations say you need to do);
- The status of proposed changes to the meal and rest period rules and recent rulings that may or may not be favorable for employers; and
- "Reforms" to the workers' compensation system
