2024-07-16 12:00 - 13:00
Since January 2024, there have already been a myriad of employment law updates ranging from wage and hour cases, to new rights for pregnant workers, to new Cal/OSHA plan requirements. As seasoned employers know, it is critical to stay current with California’s fast-paced changes to mitigate risk and avoid new areas for liability. Join CEA’s subject matter experts for our Mid-Year Labor Law Update, where we will cover:

New wage-and-hour cases regarding compensable time, rounding, and more;
Fast food, health care, and local minimum wage updates;
Workplace Violence and Indoor Heat Illness plans;
Updates on non-compete agreements;
New rights for pregnant workers, and
California’s proposed “right to disconnect” bill.

Beyond telling you “what’s new,” CEA takes a more practical approach. We explain next steps and best practices, including how to update your policies, practices, and trainings. Be sure to bring your questions live and register now to reserve your spot!
This series is sponsored by the Workforce Development Board of Solano County and is made possible by funding from Solano County.
