Webinar Description

Providing sick leave is mandatory in California, while offering vacation, holidays or personal time off is customary for most employers, although not required. Further, some employers combine vacation, mandatory sick leave, and personal time into a single bank of days (commonly called “PTO”). While that approach offers flexibility, it can also create compliance risks employers that must navigate California laws relating to these various types of leave.
