Labor Law Update: What's New for 2022 (January 11, 2022)

This webinar was presented on January 11, 2022. Due to the ongoing updates of COVID-19 protocols, the information discussed in this webinar was up-to-date as of January 11, 2022.

2021 was an unprecedented year in so many ways, and 2022 looks to be a
bit brighter. However, with all of the new laws the California Legislature
and Governor passed in response to COVID-19, it may be difficult to keep
up on what is and isn't new.

This presentation will inform you of the latest updates and new bills touching almost every facet of employment for 2022, including:
- New Policies, Practices and Record Requirements
- 2022 Minimum Wage Updates
- Safety and COVID-19 Changes
- Industry Specific Laws
- Recent Case Law - a Glimpse into the Future
