American Health Lawyers Association, Institute on Medicare and Medicaid Payment Issues Conference, Hot topics in Provider Enrollment.

Summary of Program

Administering leaves of absence and disability accommodations in California can be very challenging.  California has a paid sick leave law and numerous other leave laws and wage replacement benefits that interact with one another. To properly administer leaves and accommodate employees, employers need to understand the various types of leave/accommodations available, who is eligible under what circumstances, how to interact with an employee on a leave, and what obligations an employer has when leave is exhausted. This seminar will discuss important topics to help employers manage these laws, including:

Program Highlights

• California’s new paid sick leave law;
• A summary of employee rights and employer obligations under the various laws;
• The difference between “statutory leaves,” like FMLA/CFRA, and “wage replacement benefits,” like Paid Family Leave and State Disability Insurance;
• When and how the laws overlap;
• The importance of engaging in the interactive process;
• Recent case law; and
• How to prepare effective documentation.

Summary of Program

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. Come join the employment lawyers at Weintraub Tobin for a discussion of best practices for training supervisors and reducing the potential for liability.

Program Highlights

• An overview of employment laws that impact the workplace and common mistakes supervisors make when they don’t understand those laws.
• Tips for effective communication between supervisors and employees, including how to give constructive performance feedback.
• Common supervisor mistakes when hiring and firing.
• The importance of consistent, objective, and timely discipline.
• Preventing and responding to harassment and other Equal Employment Opportunity complaints.
• Documentation: The good, the bad and the ugly.

Summary of Program

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
• Lawful supervisory responses to complaints of harassment in the workplace
• Strategies to prevent harassment in the workplace
• Training on prevention of “abusive conduct” in the workplace (AB 2054)
• 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.
