►Session 1 – Labor Law Update: February 28 from 6 – 7:30 pm

2021 AND 2022 were unprecedented years! 2023 looks to be a bit brighter regarding the pandemic, but the Legislature refocused its attention on passing a multitude of labor and employment bills. This presentation will go over critical updates for California employers, including:

• New pay transparency requirements,
• Mandatory bereavement leave,
• Changes to the California Family Rights Act and paid sick leave law,
• New cannabis use rights,
• Minimum wage and exempt salary increases, and, of course,
• COVID-related extensions and updates.

We will also cover industry-specific watershed bills, such as the FAST Act (impacting fast food restaurants), major labor relations changes in the agricultural industry, and new requirements for call centers.

This training is unique in that we will not only cover the new laws, but the HR advisors from the California Employers’ Association will also discuss policy updates, practical guidance, and available resources. Of course, CEA will also be on hand to answer your burning questions!
