Solving the Riddle of What Constitutes “Hours Worked” Under California Law
$199.00California employers have paid hundreds of millions of dollars in the last few years to resolve wage-hour lawsuits. Most of those claims were related in one way or another to the concept of “hours worked” for non-exempt employees. When do you have to pay for meal periods, traveling on your property, and participating in security procedures? Well, the California Supreme Court recently provided some guidance on these issues in Huerta v. CSI Electrical Contractors. Unfortunately, though, the Court left many questions unanswered.
Join Jen Shaw, a nationally respected employment law expert, and Kristopher Lopez for the down and dirty on this new decision, including the best practices to avoid legal claims.
