Despite some favorable court decisions in recent years, wage-hour issues continue to haunt California employers. With local ordinances on the rise, onerous statutory penalties, aggressive enforcement agencies and an active plaintiffs' bar searching for the next big class action, vigilant compliance has never been more critical. This program will focus on the top wage-hour issues facing California employers, including avoiding the pitfalls of worker misclassification, understanding the nuances of "hours worked," and managing off-the-clock work and meal and rest periods in a post-Brinker world.
