Mandatory AB 1825 Sexual Harassment Prevention Training

The regulations regarding California’s Mandatory Sexual Harassment Prevention Training for supervisors require that certain employers provide training to their supervisors every two years.

The Labor and Employment Group at Weintraub Tobin Chediak Coleman Grodin is offering a two hour in-person training session that will comply with all the requirements outlined in the regulations including things like:

• An overview of sexual harassment laws
• Examples of conduct that constitute sexual harassment
• Strategies to prevent harassment in the workplace
• Lawful supervisory responses to complaints of harassment in the workplace
• Training on prevention of “abusive conduct” in the workplace
• Training on policies that prohibit harassment based on gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation (Senate Bill 396)
• Practical and inter-active hypotheticals and examples to help illustrate what bullying, sexual harassment, discrimination, and retaliation can look like.

If you are an employer with 50 or more employees, and have supervisors who have not yet been trained, this training is a must. We look forward to hearing from you and helping you comply with your continuing sexual harassment training obligations.

 Approved for two (2) hours MCLE (Elimination of Bias).

Supervisor Best Practices and Legal Compliance Training

Most employers know that it is crucial to have well trained supervisors to help ensure that rank and file employees perform their jobs effectively and efficiently.  However, many employers don’t realize how important it is that supervisors be trained to understand the many employment laws that govern the workplace.  Untrained supervisors can take actions (or fail to take actions) that result in significant legal consequences for an employer.

This one-hour training will cover topics like:

• Legal do’s and don’ts when hiring and firing
• Tips for effective communication between supervisors and employees, including how to give constructive performance feedback
• The importance of consistent, objective, and timely discipline
• Important wage and hour laws
• Workplace safety rules
• Accommodating disabilities and understanding the many leaves of absence laws
• The in’s and out’s of employee privacy rights

Summary of Program

Most employers know that employees may need to be accommodated from time to time for various reasons. Often this is because of an employee’s disability or medical condition. It is important for employers to understand and comply with how the courts and various federal and state regulatory agencies define accommodations, as well as learn what their rights and obligations are regarding: (1) engaging in the interactive process; and (2) providing reasonable accommodations.

Program Highlights

This interactive seminar will provide an overview of the many accommodations employers and HR professionals may be forced to consider, who should be accommodated, and how to engage in an interactive process to determine an appropriate accommodation. We will follow the life of an accommodation request, using a case study built from the various cases we have seen over the years. Topics will include:

• How to Determine Who is Entitled to an Accommodation
• How to Engage in the Interactive Process and When to Initiate the Initial discussion
• The Various Protected Classes and/or Activities Entitling an Employee to Accommodation (including things like disability, religion, and illiteracy, to name a few)
• Service Animals in the Workplace
• How to Effectively Document the Accommodation
• Recent Developments in Accommodation Law

American Health Lawyers Association, National Webinar, Hospital Deals: How to Avoid a Regulatory Crash & Burn.

Jeanne L. Vance will present at an American Health Lawyers Association webinar panel called, “Hospital Deals: How to Avoid A Regulatory Crash and Burn” on April 19. She joins national experts on hospital acquisitions and licensing and enrollment matters.

For the eighth consecutive year, Jeanne L. Vance has been invited to present at the American Health Lawyers’ Association’s Medicare Medicaid Payment Issues conference regarding provider enrollment. Ms. Vance is thrilled to join esteemed colleagues of the health law bar at this annual conference which is March 21-23, 2018 in Baltimore, Maryland.

Summary of Program

As a fiduciary, you may think that all of your communications with your attorney are confidential.  While communications between an attorney and his or her client are generally protected by the attorney-client privilege, in the trustee context, it is the office of the trustee, not the individual who is acting as trustee, that is the client.  As a result, if a trustee resigns or is removed from office, all of the confidential attorney-client communications will pass to the successor trustee.

Join the attorneys from Weintraub Tobin’s Trusts and Estates Group as they discuss the important legal and practical implications for trustees and other fiduciaries of the confidentiality of attorney-client communications, and learn why the protection of the attorney-client privilege can be here today, but gone tomorrow.

Program Highlights

• Is every communication that you have with your attorney confidential?
• How is the attorney-client privilege different for trustees and other fiduciaries?
• Learn how to recognize the potential risks of disclosure of your confidential attorney-client communications.
• Identify practical tools and strategies to protect your communications with your attorney.
