This has been the most active legislative year on the labor and employment front since before the COVID-19 pandemic. Dozens of bills have made their way through the legislative process – including increases to paid sick leave requirements, new leave entitlements, workplace violence prevention requirements, rehire obligations for displaced workers, and many more. 

Fisher Phillips invites you to join us for an informative half-day seminar covering important California legislative and legal updates that will affect employers in 2024 and beyond. Our attorneys will analyze new legislation, provide immigration and benefits updates, and will review case law updates. 

This seminar is appropriate for business owners, in-house counsel, HR professionals, and anyone who handles employee complaints, manages employees, or makes decisions impacting the workplace. 

New legislation to be covered includes:
