New Laws for 2017 - Shaw Valenza's Annual Employment Law Update

We're not publishing here on the blog as regularly as we'd like. And there are just too many new laws to cover.

The California legislature was very busy last year.  Everything from a separate retirement plan for employees without an employer 401k, to expanding the equal pay law to race and "ethnicity," to a phased in $15.00 minimum wage, to penalties for mishandling I-9 verification, and more.  Long quiet, the federal government is going after employers as well, with agency decisions and regulations.    Joint employer rules, paid sick leave for federal contractors,  Let's not forget the many court decisions that shape the law in new and exciting ways (unrelated to class action certification or arbitration, even).

With the blog publishing less frequently, where o where can one get accurate summaries of the important employment law changes that will affect HR and business people in 2017?

Thank you for that excellent question.  The answer is:  SV's annual employment law update. We've been doing it for years and years.  No lie: the live sessions almost always sell out.  The webinar is available, but live is always better.

As of now, we have a live session in Sacramento now set for December 1. Get info here.
Our first webinar is set for January 19, 2017. Info is here.

Please tell your friends too.  They'll thank you, assuming they have some interest in employment law. Otherwise, they'll probably be annoyed.

Best.
