Employment Law Risk Mitigation Strategies: From Class Action Lawsuits to Internal Investigations


Please join FEI Sacramento in welcoming our Sponsor, Weintraub Tobin and Employment Attorney, Ryan Abernethy, as he discusses important considerations for financial executives as they manage their human assets: employees.  Ryan’s presentation will cover wage and hour class action and PAGA lawsuit prevention strategies, internal investigations, and independent contractor updates.
 
Learning objectives include:
  • Best practices for reducing risk associated with wage and hour related class action lawsuits and Private Attorney General Actions, including several simple strategies all employers should apply;
  • When it is proper to conduct in internal investigation into alleged employee misconduct, how to conduct such investigations, and situations when the investigations should be outsourced; and
  • We’ll cover the ever-changing landscape of independent contractor classification issues in California, as well as several broad exemptions that are growing in prominence.

(Lunch will be provided.)
