Are you ready for 2020?

It’s that time again! California courts and our legislative representatives have new fun in store for employers in 2020. To fully protect the workplace from costly employment disputes and government audits, California employers, managers and human resource professionals must stay abreast of the ever-changing landscape of employment laws in our state and cities, as well as the cases decided by California and federal courts throughout the year.

Join us at one of our programs to prepare for 2020! Topics to be discussed will include (among many others):

  • FEHA statute of limitations expanded
