Day 1: Leave Laws How FMLA/CFRA, workers' comp, and the ADA interact, and how to properly classify various types of employee leaves Day 2: Discipline and Terminations How to avoid lawsuits and ill will when letting employees go, and how to conduct effective termination meetings
This is not HR 101—both sessions will assume a high level of pre-existing knowledge and are designed for the experienced HR professional who wants to refine and expand his or her expertise in these two troublesome areas. Our instructors are experienced California employment law attorneys who know the ins and outs of the laws in this area, including the subtle nuances that can trip you up. This conference presents a unique opportunity to both learn from these experts in an intensive setting and get the answers to the specific questions that cause you grief on a regular basis. Many other conferences go broad, covering a smattering of topics at a surface level. This conference is different: two days of information-packed 90-minute sessions—just 8 sessions total—that go beneath the surface and explain what you need to know about administering leaves, discipline, and terminations on a practical level. Importantly, the sessions are designed specifically for California employers and are taught by California attorneys—so you won't be wasting your time on information that doesn't apply to you. This exclusive two-day conference, brought to you by the same people who produce the award-winning California Employer Advisor, will explain everything you need to know to properly and legally manage employee leaves, discipline, and terminations. You'll learn: How to navigate intermittent leaves under FMLA/CRFA How FMLA/CFRA, workers' comp, and the ADA interact, and how to know which law or laws a given leave should be classified under How to correctly handle pay and bonuses for employees who are out on leave How to prevent leave abuses—without angering your honest employees How to make progressive discipline and performance improvement plans work for you instead of against you How to conduct an effective internal investigation when employee wrongdoing is suspected How to make your liability releases legally binding following layoffs or RIFs How to stay out of court after an involuntary employee termination Conference Schedule The Speakers The Location HRCI and MCLE Credits Registration Form
