Program Summary:

Join the Employment Law Group of Weintraub Genshlea Chediak Tobin & Tobin for an informative training session that will help employers and HR professionals gain a more thorough understanding of various wage and hour laws that often create liability when an employer gets them wrong.

Program Highlights:

• Brinker Restaurant Corporation v. Superior Court
  • Yes it’s true — we really are going to have a decision from the California Supreme Court this April.
  • The meal and rest period nightmare may be over.
• Are you classifying workers as independent contractors? If so, make sure you are right because the feds and California are hammering those who get it wrong.
• New developments affecting compensation plans: Commissions, bonuses and mutual wage agreements.
• What constitutes “hours worked”: It’s not always as simple as 9-5.
• Calculating an employee’s “regular rate of pay” and “overtime premiums”: It’s not always as simple as the hourly rate x 1-1/2.
• The technical “nitty gritty” of wage and hour record keeping requirements: timecards, paystubs, payroll records and more.

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 Genshlea Chediak Tobin & Tobin 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; and
• practical and inter-active hypotheticals and examples to help illustrate what 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.

Summary of Program

If it Walks Like a Duck, Quacks Like a Duck, It’s a Duck!

The risks involved in misclassifying a worker as an independent contractor rather than an employee have always been serious. A number of federal and state agencies regulate the proper classification of workers and have the authority to impose significant monetary and non-monetary sanctions against employers who get the classification wrong. However, due to a number of new laws and regulatory enforcement procedures that have gone into effect in the last year, it is now more important than ever that employers get the classification right.

This informative webinar will cover the legal landscape of independent contractor status. Topics will include:

• A summary of the various tests applied by federal and state agencies to determine independent contractor status;
• A summary of the enforcement authority of various federal and state agencies and the sanctions they may impose on employers;
• The due diligence employers must engage in before classifying a worker as an independent contractor;
• The federal Department of Labor’s new $25 million “Misclassification Initiative” designed to work closely with state agencies to investigate misclassifications and take enforcement action; and
• California’s new law imposing monetary and non-monetary sanctions against employers (and certain individuals) who willfully misclassify workers as independent contractors.

If you or your company is currently using independent contractors, this is a webinar you cannot afford to miss.
