Everything You Wanted to Know About California Employment Law - But Were Afraid to Ask

November 12, 2009

About the Program:

California employment law differs significantly from the laws of many other states, including Texas. This presentation will address the most significant differences, including daily overtime and other wage and hour traps, strict liability for harassment and other discrimination issues, disability management, privacy standards, restrictive covenants, and unique municipal ordinances.
