October 27, 2020 – Exploring At-Will Employment: What It Means, How to Preserve It, When Exceptions Apply
11 a.m. PT, 2 p.m. ET (60 minutes)
While an at-will employee can theoretically be fired at any time, with or without any reason, there is a common misconception that doing so immunizes your agency from any liability or legal consequences. In fact, there are several major exceptions to the at-will rule and reliance on at-will employment alone to support terminating an employee can present significant risk to your organization. Learn how you may be compromising your ability to rely solely on the nature of at-will employment in terminating employees without noticing it and how you can reduce risk and preserve the at-will doctrine.

December 8, 2020 – 2021 Expansion of the California Family Rights Act
11 a.m. PT, 2 p.m. ET (60 minutes)
As 2020 winds down, employers large and small will have to grapple with some significant changes to the state’s California Family Rights Act (CFRA), which was amended by SB 1383 to apply to California employers with five (5) or more employees. This law in general provides eligible employees up to 12 weeks of job-protected unpaid leave for their own serious medical condition or care for a family member. In this webinar we will go through what makes an employee eligible for this leave, the purposes for which they can take the leave, and the documentation that an employer can require to substantiate the need for the leave. We will discuss the following changes, which apply to all employers: the expansion of who qualifies as a “family member’; the elimination of the 75 mile rule; the “key employee” exception. We will also talk about steps small nonprofits can take to prepare for what may be a substantial increase in absenteeism.
