Littler's First Friday Webinar Series: July 2, 2020 - COVID-19 in the Workplace: Recent Developments and Compliance Challenges 7/2/2020 8:30 AM - 7/2/2020 9:30 AM

Thu, 14 May 2020 14:02:27 GMT

It has become apparent that COVID-19 is going to dominate employment and labor law issues for the foreseeable future. On Friday, April 3, Littler's Sacramento office presented a webinar on dealing with COVID-19 in the workplace. More than 500 attendees generated over 100 questions, and we were unable to answer all of them in the allotted time. Plus, the laws relating to the pandemic are changing virtually every day.

Therefore, to address evolving labor and employment law challenges, we have decided to continue with a COVID-19 webinar on the First Friday of each month. The series is designed so that business leaders, human resources professionals, and in-house counsel can stay current with the best thinking that Littler has to offer during the crisis.

Each session will begin with a 30 minute update on recent legal developments, including practical suggestions and strategic thinking for responding to new COVID-19 challenges. We will then devote a full 30 minutes to an “open microphone" session to answer your questions.

Webinar is complimentary.

CLE credit requires following State-by-State Guide for submission. CLE is not available for Kansas or Ohio.

SPHR/PHR and SHRM certifications are pending approval.

Speakers:

Bruce J. Sarchet, Shareholder | Kayla K. Cox, Associate

Harassment Prevention For Supervisors Webinar 7/9/2020 12:00 Noon - 7/9/2020 2:00 PM

Tue, 09 Jun 2020 09:06:48 GMT

This course is a 2-hour instructor-led session where employees will engage in discussions on all forms of sexual harassment (verbal, visual, and physical). Other types of prohibited harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and abusive conduct will also be covered in an interactive format.

Supervisors will learn how to recognize problems and about their responsibility in the prevention of sexual harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and abusive conduct. Topics include reporting, bystander intervention, investigating and resolving complaints, parameters of confidentiality, and practical tips on how to stay out of trouble and keep your workplace harassment-free.

In the past, only California employers with 50 or more employees were required to provide sexual harassment prevention training—and only to supervisors. Effective 1/1/19, SB1343 requires all California employers with five (5) or more employees to provide harassment prevention training. The deadline for this training was updated on August 30, 2019 (effective immediately) as follows:

Two hours of sexual harassment prevention training to all supervisory employees by January 1, 2021.
One hour of sexual harassment prevention training to all non-supervisory employees by January 1, 2021.
Part-time, temporary, and seasonal employees, plus independent contractors count toward the minimum employee count of five employees.
Training must occur within six months of the employee starting the position (and every 2 years thereafter).

The SB 778 updates allow covered employers who have provided anti-harassment training in 2019 to wait until 2021 before providing refresher training. NOTE—Employers with 50 or more employees who provided the mandatory supervisor training in 2018 must still complete that training in 2020.

Joe explains the background screening process in detail so you understand it clearly.
