Program Summary:

Join the Employment Law Group of Weintraub Genshlea Chediak Tobin & Tobin for an informative training session that will help employers and HR professionals gain a more thorough understanding of various wage and hour laws that often create liability when an employer gets them wrong.

Program Highlights:

• Brinker Restaurant Corporation v. Superior Court
  • Yes it’s true — we really are going to have a decision from the California Supreme Court this April.
  • The meal and rest period nightmare may be over.
• Are you classifying workers as independent contractors? If so, make sure you are right because the feds and California are hammering those who get it wrong.
• New developments affecting compensation plans: Commissions, bonuses and mutual wage agreements.
• What constitutes “hours worked”: It’s not always as simple as 9-5.
• Calculating an employee’s “regular rate of pay” and “overtime premiums”: It’s not always as simple as the hourly rate x 1-1/2.
• The technical “nitty gritty” of wage and hour record keeping requirements: timecards, paystubs, payroll records and more.
