This seminar will provide a refresher (or introduction to new employers) on wage and hour laws in California, including recent updates and developments. Many of these laws are “gotcha” laws with little to no defense to primarily technical violations. This seminar will help you navigate these tricky waters with more confidence! Topics are selected from some of the most common problem areas seen by outside employment attorneys, and will include, for example: exempt vs. nonexempt; meal and rest period requirements; final pay rules; wage statement requirements; overtime pay rules; and independent contractor vs. employee.
