(November 19, 2008) Employment law gets more stringent and complex every year, which is why California Chamber of Commerce employment law counsels will travel throughout the state conducting seminars on human resources, labor and employment laws, regulations and court decisions that will affect how companies do business in 2009.

Space is filling up fast for the HR 102: Labor Law Administration and HR 201: Labor Law Update seminars offered by CalBizCentral, the source for California business and human resource compliance products, presented by the CalChamber.

HR 102: Labor Law Administration

This six-hour class is ideal for those new to HR or who would like a refresher and includes even more HR-specific instruction than 101 courses. This seminar has been updated for 2009 to educate attendees on some more of the challenging HR topics including wages and hour, meal and rest breaks, and reasonable accommodation.

This leading seminar, presented by three California legal experts on laws having an impact on business, also will offer attendees a comprehensive understanding of investigation procedures and terminations and layoffs in an interactive format.

Each attendee will receive a complimentary copy of the 2009 Labor Law Administration book, which will provide additional tools to tackle these complex issues.

HR201: Labor Law Update

After just one half-day session, attendees will know how to apply the latest legislation and understand updated guidelines related to the federal Family Medical Leave Act amendments, cell phones and texting, same-sex marriage, meal and rest periods, ADA and more.

Attendees will return to work with up-to-the-minute ideas for program improvement that can make the difference between being sued and avoiding litigation altogether.

In addition to this presentation, attendees will receive more than 80 pages of all relevant case law and statutory and regulatory changes that may have an impact on businesses in 2009.
