Posted: | Category: California - Family Leave

On November 15, 2022, from 9:30 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. (Pacific Time), CDF Partners Mark S. Spring and Alison Tsao will be presenting our annual complimentary β€œYear in Review” webinar that will cover 2022’s new laws, key judicial decisions, and developments affecting California employers in 2023 and beyond.

With the stress of the COVID-19 pandemic now largely in the rear-view mirror, the most recent California legislation focuses on aggressively expanding employee rights in other areas. This webinar will cover the court decisions and recent legislation passed that will require California employers to take action as they prepare for 2023.

Topics will include:

-New mandatory bereavement leave requirements
-Expanded family leave that will allow California employees to take up to 12 weeks of leave to care for individuals who are not family members
-Another raise to the state minimum wage and corresponding salary tests for exempt status qualification
-New requirements that require California to provide job applicants and current employees additional information on pay ranges
-New obligations that mandate that California employers provide detailed pay data to the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing
-Recent developments regarding the use of mandatory arbitration in California
-Other important legal changes that California employers need to be aware of to ensure compliance in 2023

During this comprehensive webinar, Mark and Alison will review these developments and provide compliance guidance to assist employers as they prepare for 2023.
