Employment Law Updates – 2009

by Bart Gragg

I attended a two hour seminar facilitated by Jessica Braverman, Esq. of the California Employment Law Training Center (CAELTC) on Jan. 13, 2009.

Jessica gave us a synopsis of new laws that we need to be aware of, primarily from the federal, but some California content was there as well.  For more information and details I encourage you to contact Jessica.

A sampling of Federal laws to be aware of:

Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA)
Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
Form I-9 Updates

California Laws:

No new text based communications while driving – great insight here as to corporate liability when employees drive and text or talk.

New Temporary Employee payment schedule

And several others dealing with Workers Comp and Wages.
