Employment Law Violations Can Spell Catastrophe for Your Business Poole & Shaffery Presents Annual Employment Law Update

If you do business in California, you’re well aware that our state has some of the strictest business regulations, and with every year comes something new. As a business owner or a professional in some other capacity, you simply cannot afford to ignore ongoing changes to the law.
Employment laws in California are constantly changing, and employers may not be fully aware of the effects these legal changes can have. Falling out of compliance can result in catastrophic results for businesses. Employment law litigation can prove costly and lengthy, and can be absolutely devastating to a business’ long-term success and viability. Extremely common employment law-related lawsuits include wage and hour disputes, wrongful termination, discrimination, and harassment.
However, you don’t need to go it alone.
Poole & Shaffery, LLP is offering business owners an information-packed crash course on important regulations of which to be aware, during our annual Employment Law Luncheon, 11:45 a.m. on Feb. 16 at the Hyatt Regency Valencia. This event is hosted by the Valley Industry Association and replaces VIA’s regular monthly luncheon. This is a sell-out event, and we urge people to reserve tickets ahead of time. Attendees can register by visiting www.EmploymentLawRSVP.com.
Our entire purpose behind this luncheon is giving you the business owner information you need to ensure you are in full compliance with the laws that affect your business.
Presented by myself and founding partner David Poole, the luncheon will provide an overview of legislation and court rulings on the horizon for 2017. Additionally, discussion topics at this year’s luncheon will include:
Minimum wage and exempt salary updates
Paid sick leave
Modification to equal pay statutes
Updating workplace discrimination and retaliation policies
Forecast of 2017 legislation and court rulings
Employee handbook updates
Legalized marijuana and its use in the workplace
There will also be a question-and-answer segment following the main presentation.
Start the New Year on the right foot by staying up to date on regulations that affect you, your employees, and your business. We hope to see you at the 2017 Employment Law Luncheon.
