Employer Advisory Council presents: Can We Do That 8 California Employment Law Questions That Get Expensive Fast

Employer Advisory Council presents: Can We Do That 8 California Employment Law Questions That Get Expensive Fast

It often starts with a question that sounds completely routine: Can we move forward with the termination? Do we really have to investigate this? What can we say in a reference? Is this employee actually entitled to overtime?

For California employers, the difference between the answer that seems right and the answer the law requires can create significant legal, financial, and operational risk. Join Jason Geller of Fisher Phillips for a practical, scenario-based session focused on the employment-law questions California employers and HR professionals encounter in the real world. Rather than providing a broad statutory overview, Jason will walk through real-world workplace situations, explore what employers commonly assume, explain where the legal risk actually lies, and share practical considerations for making better-informed employment decisions.

The session will also include interactive audience participation and a dedicated Q&A, giving attendees an opportunity to submit their own California employment-law questions and hear practical answers from an experienced employment attorney.
