Description

Building (or re-building!) a quality workforce begins with effective and lawful hiring techniques. How can you tell if your applicant is the best person for the job? What documentation is required or permitted in the hiring process? What do you do when the new employee arrives at your workplace? Employers must be aware of hiring restrictions and requirements to avoid violating California's hiring laws, deter discrimination claims from applicants, and develop an effective employment relationship from the outset.

In this informative seminar, employment law attorney Karen L. Gabler will discuss the effective and lawful hiring of California employees. Topics will include the following:

Recruiting after pandemic losses
Job postings and advertisements
Documentation of the hiring process
Job applications
Job references and background checks
Using the internet to research your applicant
Interview questions to ask (and not to ask!)
Background checks and criminal convictions
How to tell if the applicant is the right "fit" for your company
The conditional job offer
Offer letters and employment agreements
Mandatory pre-hire documentation
Revoking a job offer
The employee's first day
Mandatory and recommended new hire documents
The introductory period
When you've hired the wrong person
