Description:  

Last year was an active one for developments affecting California employers. Several cases were published and bills passed that expand or revise protection for employees and obligations of employers. Morrison & Foerster LLP will host a series of briefings to discuss these developments and their impact. Topics that will be discussed include:

Legislative and Judicial Developments

• Interactive Sex Harassment Training is Made Mandatory
• Domestic Partners Have Greater Rights
• Tax Law Changes Affect Retirement Plans, Settlements, and Severance Payments
• The "Bounty Hunter" Law is Modified but Still Has Teeth
• Class Action Lawsuits are a Confirmed Reality
• Exempt/Non-Exempt Changes are Made but Don't Mean Much

Current Issues

• Protecting the Religious Rights of Employees
• Administering Paid Family Leave
• Complying with the Rights of Employees in the Military

This event is also taking place in San Francisco.
