In 2012 and the first half of 2013, new legislation, regulations, and court decisions imposed significant new requirements on California employers that affect your workplace.

Join Allen Kato, Associate with Fenwick & West LLP, as he covers the most important employment law developments from 2012 through the first half of 2013, and prepares you to effectively deal with them in 2013 and beyond. The topics covered will include:

•Wage/Hour: Relaxation and clarification of rules regarding non-exempt employees’ meal and rest breaks, significant restriction of the administrative exemption; new wave of class action "suitable seating" cases; and new rules regarding commission agreements.
•Equal Employment Opportunity: New guidance regarding use of criminal history information; and other developments regarding discrimination and harassment.
•Leaves of Absence: Expansion of pregnancy disability leave obligations; and other developments regarding when employers are (and are not) required to afford medical and family care leave.
•Privacy: New federal limits on employer attempts to restrict employee use of social media on and off work; new California law expands employee rights to inspect and obtain copy of personnel file; and new California law prohibits forced disclosure of social media passwords.
