Small businesses are covered by many laws they often don't even know about. This includes lawyers and law firms, who may focus on clients without making time for their own business practices. Our March 24 presentation to the Napa County Bar Association addresses some recent developments in employment law relevant to most law firms - and equally applicable to other businesses as well. Some issues include:
California Family Rights Act
Leaves for a "Designated Person"
Mandatory Bereavement Leave
Employee "Emergency Condition" Rights
State-mandated Retirement Benefit Options
Pay Scale Disclosures
Settlement and Severance Agreements
Non-Compete and Non-Disclosure Agreements
