California Wage & Hour Teleconference

Audio only,    September 23, 2010
Audio only,    October 6, 2010

 

  • 12:00 - 3:00 PM (Eastern)
  • 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM (Central)
  • 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM (Mountain)
  • 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM (Pacific)

This advanced-level 3-hour teleconference will comprehensively compare and contrast distinctions between California and Federal law, isolating those wage and hour requirements unique to California law. We will provide practical insight into the most troublesome areas including:

  • What time is compensable work time;
  • What goes into the regular rate of pay;
  • Overtime calculations;
  • The continuing impact of the July 2008 California Court of Appeals Brinker decision on meal and rest periods;
  • Developments regarding overtime exemptions, especially the administrative and outside sales exemptions;
  • Penalties including possible pyramiding with a “total damages” calculation; and
  • The impact of DLSE and DOL opinion letters, and interpretive guidance on the development of California law.
This agenda is extremely relevant and timely in view of the current and coming waves of cutting edge wage and hour litigation in California.

All participants will receive a comprehensive paper and supporting reference materials.

Teleconference conducted by Kirby C. Wilcox, Esq., Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker, LLP, San Francisco, California, and Heather Morgan, Esq., Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker LLP, Los Angeles, California.

HOW DO TELECONFERENCES WORK?

Teleconferences are cost-effective and convenient. You participate in the entire conference from your office using a regular telephone and your access code. Plus, for one fee you can have as many people participate as you can fit around a speakerphone, but only the registrant will receive CLE credit from NELI. This teleconference will run for approximately 3 hours with the last 30 minutes devoted to Q&A. During the speaker presentation portion of the conference, registrants are in a "listen-only" mode. After the presentation portion is concluded, the phones are "opened up" for an interactive Q&A session, with conference attendees queuing up to ask questions of the presenters. Questions can also be submitted via email at any time during the conference to be responded to during the Q&A session.

HOW WILL WE RECEIVE THE PROGRAM MATERIALS/CALL-IN INFORMATION?

Approximately 3 days before the teleconference you will receive an email with the toll-free phone number, access code and link to a PDF attachment from us containing in-depth program materials. If you do not receive the email within two (2) days of the teleconference, please contact NELI.

CLE AND OTHER CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDIT:

NELI's programs are routinely approved for credit in all jurisdictions with such requirements and we expect for this program to receive full accreditation provided that the jurisdiction approves teleconferences. (Kansas, Ohio and Indiana do not approve programs of this kind.) Registrants may be required to file for credit on their own behalf in some jurisdictions. We will provide all necessary forms and proof of attendance. We have also filed for credit through HRCI. CLE credit will be given to registered participants only.

If you have questions regarding your state, please contact NELI. This program will provide between 3-3.5 CLE hours, depending upon the jurisdiction (3 hours in California).


Registration Fee: $299.00 - unlimited listeners per phone line (NO conference calls please) CLE credit will be issued for registered participants ONLY.

Prepayment is required to receive your access code. If you can not provide a credit card, please email or call and we may be able to invoice you.
