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.

June 12 Breakfast Meeting

The “Disabled” Employee: What Laws Apply and a Helpful Perspective From the EDD

As most employers well know, responding to the needs of an injured or ill employee is not always an easy thing to do. Employers often rack their brain over the following questions:

What are the employee’s rights?

• What are the employer’s obligations?
• Which laws apply to a given situation? Are they different depending on whether the injury or illness is work related or not? Are they different depending on whether or not the employee has been declared “disabled?”
• Does a disabled employee have a right to leave or just an accommodation on the job?
• If the employee does needs time off from work, is it paid or unpaid and how much “disability” leave can they get?
• What do California’s State Disability Insurance (SDI) and Paid Family Leave (PFL) programs provide to employees who need time off from work?
• What obligations does the employer have to assist employees in obtaining SDI and/or PFL benefits?
• What can the EDD do to help an employer and an employee understand the SDI/PFL claim process?

YOU’VE GOT QUESTIONS – WE’VE GOT ANSWERS:

Please join SEAC for its June Breakfast Meeting on June 12, 2013 where an experienced employment attorney and a specialized EDD representative will discuss these important issues and provide helpful tips on how best to administer this somewhat difficult area of employment law.
