Wage & Hour law updates in California

Recorded Session
60 Minutes

California's many wage and hour laws are hard to follow, and aggressive plaintiffs' attorneys are ready to pursue even minor technical violations. This 60-minute California wage and hour law webinar shows how to reduce that risk.

You'll learn how to classify employees as exempt or non-exempt and how to avoid misclassifying workers as independent contractors following the California Supreme Court's Dynamex decision. The session explains when and how to provide overtime and meal and rest breaks, and how to document them.

It also gives you ways to stay out of wage and hour lawsuits, including class actions and PAGA claims, explains the requirements of the revived Equal Pay Act, and covers what to do if you receive a Labor Commissioner Notice of Claim and Conference.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

In California, a small wage and hour mistake can turn into costly litigation. Knowing the classification, overtime, break and equal pay rules helps you prevent claims before they start.
