MEAL AND REST PERIODS AFTER THE BRINKER CASE: 
 
STRATEGIES FOR LIMITING EXPOSURE TO COSTLY WAGE HOUR CLAIMS
 
Earlier this year, the California Court of Appeal decided the very favorable Brinker Restaurant case. (Brinker Case)  Though  the case made it considerably easier for employers to comply with the state's meal and rest period regulations, the California Supreme Court has accepted the case for review.  A Supreme Court decision is not expected for a year or more.  With the law in a state of flux, the California Labor Commissioner just announced enforcement guidelines which will apply while we await the Supreme Court's ruling.
 
In our Webinar, we will cover the following topics:
 
-  The current law of meal and rest periods;
-  The 5 most common compliance mistakes;
-  How Brinker changed the landscape for 
   employers;
-  Policies and practices that the Labor
   Commissioner considers compliant;
-  Compliance Strategies:  What to do while
   awaiting the Supreme Court's ruling
