CDF Webinar: The “Golden State” of PAGA: Status and Trends of CA Wage and Hour Litigation

August 23, 2021 | CDF Labor Law LLP Filed Under: General (CA)

Developments during the COVID-19 pandemic have left a dark cloud of uncertainty for employers in the Golden State, and have led to many new claims under the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA). This webinar will cover how these developments impact business operations and litigation strategies for California employers as they navigate the rocky PAGA terrain.

CDF’s Partners Corey Cabral, Chair of the firm’s PAGA Litigation Practice Group, and Amy Williams, an experienced PAGA litigator, will discuss how pandemic-related business decisions and new California court opinions have created new PAGA claims and introduced new variables in PAGA litigation.

In particular, the presenters will offer insights on:

– Frequent sources of PAGA lawsuits.
– Liability that may arise from work-from-home arrangements, new compensation/bonus plans, staffing issues, and workplace safety requirements.
– Regular rate, wage statement, meal/rest period premium, and timekeeping requirements addressed in recently published opinions.
– Developing PAGA litigation strategies regarding the plaintiff’s standing, jurisdiction and venue.

This information will assist corporate counsel, California business owners and HR professionals in identifying and addressing potential risks related to these developments, and in implementing strategies for effectively mitigating potential liability.

In public statements, Abruzzo has stated she believes “vigorous enforcement of the [NLRA] will help level the playing field for workers and their freely chosen representatives.”

New Jersey Cannabis Commission Gives Employers Who Drug Test A Reprieve on Physical Examination Requirement

August 23, 2021 | Ford Harrison Filed Under: General (NJ)

As we previously discussed here, New Jersey’s Cannabis Regulatory, Enforcement Assistance, and Marketplace Modernization Act (“CREAMMA”) contains several protections for New Jersey employees who use recreational cannabis, while also reserving for employers the right to drug test under certain conditions. The most controversial twist in CREAMMA is that drug tests of employees and applicants must be accompanied by a “physical examination” conducted by a person who has been certified to recognize drug impairment. The New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission (the “Commission”) was tasked with establishing a Workplace Impairment Recognition Expert (“WIRE”) certification program to train and certify persons to conduct these “physical evaluations” on behalf of employers. The Commission has until August 21, 2021 to implement CREAMMA regulations.
