California Employment Law Answers audio conferences and webinars are:

Cost-effective
Bring your whole staff for one low registration rate.

Convenient
You never leave your office, so there's no wasted travel time.

Authoritative
Expert speakers develop presentations in conjunction with our award-winning editorial team. Your handout—delivered electronically days before the webinar—contains not just speaker bios and an outline of the presentation, but supplemental editorial materials, often including sample policies, past articles, checklists and more.

Interactive
You get at least 30 minutes of live question-and-answer sessions in each audio conference and webinar. This is your chance to tailor the webinar to your specific needs. Past attendees have told us the Q&A is the most valuable part of the presentation.

California-specific
Unlike programs you might see advertised elsewhere, our conferences are focused on what's important to California employers. When California and federal rules cross, you'll find out which you need to follow when. Oftentimes big changes in federal rules don't mean anything to employers in our state because California rules are stricter. Don't waste your time and money on programs that aren't specifically designed for you. And if you need to know about federal rules because you have employees in another state, our speakers can help you with that too.

Approved for Recertification Credit
Each program has been approved for 1.5 recertification credit hours toward PHR and SPHR recertification through the Human Resource Certification Institute (HRCI). For more information about certification or recertification, please visit the HRCI homepage at www.hrci.org.

Guaranteed
We know you'll be delighted with your experience at a CELA audio conference or webinar. If not, let us know and we'll refund your entire registration payment.
