Get ready for 2025 by joining us to review the major changes to California employment law that occurred in 2024.  This year, California finally reformed the state’s Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”), limiting the ability of plaintiff’s to bring claims unrelated to their own employment experiences and creating significant incentives for employers to act swiftly to find and fix any employment law violations.

Our webinar will address PAGA reform and what employers should do now, before a claim is asserted, to reduce their potential PAGA liability, as well as other changes adopted this year, such as:

  • Changes to the California Paid Family Leave Program;
  • Expansions of California’s anti-retaliation laws;
  • Amendments to the Fair Employment Housing Act; and
  • The new Freelance Worker Protection Act, among many others.

We look forward to seeing you there!

State legislatures are also racing to implement their own regulations, particularly around AI’s use in critical areas, such as healthcare, labor and employment, and data privacy. The many sources of regulation raise the specter of a fragmented compliance environment for businesses. This webinar will delve into the Administration’s AI strategy, going beyond the headlines to analyze:...
