Upcoming Employment Law Training Sessions

WEBINAR

Many employers use electronic or other on-boarding programs to allow new hires to complete paperwork before their first actual day of work.  Efficient?  For sure.  Legal?  Maybe not.  Join Jen for a discussion of the legal issues surrounding pre-employment on-boarding, including wage-hour and Form I-9 compliance.

Please forward this invitation to your colleagues, friends, and neighbors, and encourage them to participate!

We hire employees to come to work, but what happens when they need protected time off or a reasonable accommodation?  In our annual two-part workshop for new and experienced HR professionals, we provide detailed information about all of the relevant laws and regulations (including legal updates for 2021 and COVID-related laws) and practical guidance on the challenging issues that arise in these areas.  Attendees will work through hypotheticals to test their knowledge, all of which are based on real life scenarios and require thoughtful analysis and strategy.

As experienced and respected workplace law litigators and advisors, we are uniquely qualified to help you hone your skills.  Public and private sector professionals of all levels will appreciate our practical and organized approach.  We answer the tough questions, and give you the tools you need to succeed.

You only need to register here to be added to both session dates. Once approved, you will receive confirmation emails for each date separately. Certificates provided upon completion.  Space is limited.  No refunds.

Time: 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Many employers offer production, safety, and other bonuses to help recruit and retain employees.  These same employers often find themselves being sued for wage-hour (and sometimes tax) issues related to these bonuses.  Join Jen for some practical tips to avoid bonus-related liability.

Limited spots for our “Internal Investigation Intensive” are now available!

As experienced employment lawyers and impartial workplace investigators, we conduct hundreds of public and private sector investigations every year.  We bring that expertise, and our commitment to providing the best possible training experience, to this three-day workshop.

On the first day, we cover investigation fundamentals.  From creating a workplan to handling witness representatives and everything in between, we provide practical guidance and cutting edge legal analysis for every step in the investigation process, including:

• Applicable legal requirements
• Determining the scope of the investigation
• Key questions to ask complainants, respondents, and witnesses
• Assessing witness credibility
• The appropriate evidentiary standard
• Drafting legally compliant investigation closure notices
• Compiling relevant documents and electronic information
• Preventing retaliation and future misconduct

On the second day, attendees participate in a mock investigation, and do everything from conducting interviews to reaching factual findings. We update our mock scenarios every year, and provide coaching and constructive feedback throughout the day.

On the third day, we take attendees step-by-step through how to write effective investigation reports.  As all experienced investigators know, this is the most challenging part of the investigation process.  We show you how to keep reports simple and direct, and ensure they can withstand legal scrutiny.

Poorly done investigations can cost employers millions of dollars.  With our help, you will be prepared to do your best work.

Attendees receive our trademarked “Investigator’s Manual” that contains checklists, sample interview outlines, and a sample investigation report.

This workshop is appropriate for investigators of all levels and experience.  No prior background is necessary.

Employers throughout the state have relied on us for over 20 years to deliver interactive and impactful EEO compliance training.  We regularly update our materials to reflect current events and legal developments, and attendees rave about our delivery and content.

In this session intended for employees at all levels, we cover the required topics under AB 1825, SB 1343, and related laws, including:

• The legal definitions of unlawful harassment, discrimination and retaliation
• The definition of “bullying” and management’s responsibility for preventing it
• How to encourage “upstanders” in the workplace
• The differences between EEO laws and EEO policies
• How “out-of-work” conduct (including social media activities) may result in EEO liability
• The internal complaint process, including the duty to report, investigate and respond, and how to encourage employees to respect the process
• Additional expectations for “supervisors”

This session is perfect for employers who want everyone in the workplace to hear the same message.
