Why You Should Purchase this CD:
Companies with operations in California have become accustomed to dealing with "cutting edge" labor and employment law issues. 2004 has been particularly challenging, however, as there have been a series of significant and unique California employment law developments directly affecting an employers' bottom line. For instance:

  • California's new "Bounty Hunter" statute has encouraged plaintiff's lawyers to sue over technical labor code violations;
  • Paid family leave is about to take effect - raising a whole host of questions for employers;
  • The state's workers' compensation system is in crisis; and
  • Juries keep issuing multi-million dollar awards - that the courts uphold.
    •

This combination of events has created the "Perfect Storm" for employers. To survive in this environment, employers need to be both educated on the latest legal developments and armed with practical tips to avoid liability and/or minimize costs. These issues, as well as other California employment law nuances, will be addressed in this important audio conference sponsored by IAML.

Those organizations without a presence in California also need to be attuned to what is happening in the Golden State. Employment law trends often begin in California and spread around the country - this audio conference will provide important insights into this phenomenon.

Who Will Benefit:
Legal, Human Resource, and Employee Benefits Personnel.
