Weintraub attorneys Justin M. Borrowdale and Jon E. Ancona presented on Legal Essentials for Startup Companies for WeWork members at the Well’s Fargo building in Sacramento, CA. They discussed issues that newer and growing companies encounter; how to avoid common pitfalls; and the benefit of running your company like you are prepping to sell (even if you aren’t).

Summary of Program

With the ever increasing number of claims filed with the Department of Labor and California Labor Commissioner for unpaid overtime, and the increasing number of wage and hour class action lawsuits, the importance of correctly classifying employees as exempt or non-exempt is clear.

Program Highlights

• A discussion of the exemptions available.
• Checklists for determining if your employees are exempt.
• How to conduct a self-audit to ensure that employees are properly classified.
• What to do if your employees have been misclassified.
