The Peculiarities of California Employment Law

California continues to be "ground zero" for new employment laws and new theories of employer liability that radiate out to other states and that may very well find their way into new federal laws and regulations. As a result, it is imperative that employers with California employees understand and comply with their peculiar legal obligations. This program covers the growing list of laws with which executives and managers, general counsel and human resources professionals must comply in California, including laws related to:

• Leaves of absence
• Arbitration
• Employer liability to third parties
• Employment discrimination
• Wage and hour litigation
• Covenants not to compete
• Rights of organized labor
• Independent contractors
