“Horrible Employment Headlines and How to Avoid Them,” an employment law update for 2015, will take place from 8:30 a.m. to noon Thursday, Jan. 15, in Truckee.

The California legislature has been quite active recently, according to a press release from the Sierra Human Resources Association, and has introduced several new laws, including mandatory paid sick leave, “unfair immigration-related practices,” required training on “abusive conduct/bullying,” and reporting of safety issues, arbitration agreements and disclosure requirements related to computerized data breaches, among others.

Allegra A. Jones and Lori Ocheltree, attorneys at Duane Morris in San Francisco who practice in the areas of employment law and civil litigation, will lead the presentation.
