Three Day Online Workshop: The Ultimate Guide to California FMLA/CFRA, ADA/FEHA, PDL, and Workers' Compensation (June 9-11, 2021) - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "The Ultimate Guide to California FMLA/CFRA, ADA/FEHA, PDL, and Workers' Compensation with Handling Related Performance Management and Harassment, Discrimination and Retaliation Complaint - with and without COVID-19" conference has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

As of January 1, 2021, all California employers with five or more employees will need to comply with the new amendments to the California Family Rights Act (CIFRA), and employers with 50 or more employees will need to comply with even more extensive CFRA Benefit regulations.

Many employers will be in violation of the law on New Year's Day without realising it; one small mistake can lead to litigation, at a cost of millions of dollars. Dealing with medical leaves and accommodations is highly susceptible to errors, miscues, and mistakes, and employers need expert help to navigate the new regulations.

For this reason, Beth de Lima, one of the top HR leave and accommodation experts in the USA on HR compliance, offers a workshop for all businesses who want to comply with the new rules. This 12-hour workshop, lasting three and a half days, prepares companies for the new changes in CFRA employment law. Attending also allows employers to earn 12 continuing education units (CEU) with the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) and the Human Resources Certification Institute (HRCI) to keep their membership in those organisations.

From fortune 5000 organizations and government agencies to mid-market companies and small businesses, she has helped implement these regulations in businesses of every shape and size. Beth De Lima has trained thousands of HR professionals in these complex regulations. She is a sought after subject matter expert providing expert testimony for litigations and lawsuits.
