Workplace Application:
You will obtain tools to navigate the complex employment landscape of California and will learn practical skills for
reducing liability.
The sessions are dedicated to help companies with operations in California’s biggest obstacle course. You can take each session individually or as a series.
All sessions will cover some of California’s complex and often confusing employment scenarios, including the “danger zones” where Employers may not be as savvy. Exercise your brain and tone your HR muscles so that you are able to recognize the issues that can present risks to your company.
