2008 California Employment Law Update

Littler Mendelson invites you to join us for a focused breakfast briefing to review important new legislative developments and legal trends that every California employer must know to ensure compliance and prevent liability in 2008. Highlights of the seminar include:

• Wage and Hour: The California Supreme Court's 2007 landmark cases
• Disability Discrimination: The impact of the recent California Supreme Court 2007 decision holding that the "employee" has the burden of proof in establishing they can do the "essential functions of a job." A review of other recent cases impacting employers, including the interaction between the "disability" laws and use of Family Medical Leave.
• CFRA/FMLA: Review of recent court decisions, including what an employer's obligations are to an employee that is provided "light duty;" when an employer is on "notice" of the need for a leave; what constitutes "hours worked" for eligibility purposes; satisfactory "paperwork" substantiating the need for a leave, etc.

Program is complimentary. Approved for one hour of CLE, SPHR credit.
