Shauna Correia discusses best practices for training supervisors and reducing the potential for liability.

Summary of Program:
Well-trained supervisors are valuable to companies for their ability to help ensure operations run smoothly. Often, employers focus on productivity and efficiency.  But companies may not be aware that even mid-level supervisors may be deemed agents of the company, when it comes to employment laws that govern the workplace. Untrained supervisors’ actions (or inactions) can result in significant legal consequences for an employer, including in regards to harassment, disability accommodations, leave requests, and wage and hour law enforcement.

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
• 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

On September 17, 2020 Weintraub attorneys Lizbeth (Beth) V. West and Ryan Abernethy provided an overview of various leave laws.

Administering leaves of absence in California can be very challenging.   California has a paid sick leave law and numerous other leave laws, reasonable accommodation laws, and wage replacement laws that interact with one another.  To properly administer leaves, employers need to be aware of the various laws, know who is eligible and under what circumstance, and understand the particular rights and obligations employees and employers have.

On August 13, 2020 Weintraub attorney Lukas Clary discussed the nuts and bolts of wage and hour compliance for non-exempt employees in California.

Unfortunately, both single-plaintiff and class-action wage and hour lawsuits continue to plague California employers. Employers are often sued because of technical violations that occur simply because an employer is unaware of its legal obligations.  The web of federal and state wage and hour laws that govern the workplace can be difficult to understand.

American Health Lawyers Association, Annual Meeting, Choose Your Friends Wisely or Face the Consequences under the New Provider Enrollment Rule.

Summary: 
Most employers know that employees may need to be accommodated from time to time for various reasons under California and/or Federal law. It is important for employers to understand these laws and comply with how the courts and various federal and state regulatory agencies interpret them, as well as learn what their rights and obligations are regarding: (1) engaging in the interactive process; and (2) providing reasonable accommodations. This is even more true in the current COVID-19 world we find ourselves in.
