Wouldn’t it be great if there was a “how to” manual for managing your employees and running your CA business?
Why do Employers need a course?
California is notoriously one of the most difficult places to do business because of the ever-changing labor laws which make it increasingly difficult for small business owners to keep up. More than half of all business owners get sued annually by their employees and many others receive fines and penalties from the labor board*. These fines can cost into the thousands and lawsuits into the millions. Knowing how to spot the red flags can greatly reduce these risks but many employers don’t even know where to begin.
Additionally, knowing the law is not enough. Employers must know how to apply the law in their unique operation. This course is taught from the practical proactive lens of a former HR practitioner so that each participant can apply the law to their operation.
Employer liability begins day 1 of hiring a CA employee and the labor code requires you to know how to comply perfectly. This course will give you an introduction into CA Employment & Labor Law and creative solutions to compliance.
