Employment law firm LightGabler is presenting a free seminar “We Need to Talk About Our Relationship: Classifying Workers as Independent Contractors, Temporary or Exempt-Salaried,” Tuesday, January 29, 2019 at the Embassy Suites Hotel (333 Madonna Road) in San Luis Obispo.
In the spectrum of potential legal problems facing California employers today, few carry the destructive impact of the misclassification of workers. Treating an employee as an independent contractor or a non-exempt employee as salaried exempt can result in damages and penalties from a minimum of five state and federal agencies, as well as civil liability for the employer.
In this informative seminar for employers, supervisors and human resource professionals, employment law attorneys Jonathan Fraser Light and Susan S. Waag will discuss the proper classification of workers to avoid liability. Topics covered will include new California Supreme Court standards for independent contractors and critical documentation every employer needs to defend contractor or exempt status.
The seminar is from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. A continental breakfast will be served. Attendance is limited to no more than three people per company. Reservations are required at least 24 hours in advance and can be made by going to lightgablerlaw.com and clicking on “Seminars & Training.” For questions, call 805-248-7089.
