On December 15th, Pavneet Mac presented "Legislative Updates for Employers to Plan for a Successful (and Compliant) 2021." This must-watch presentation helped California employers understand the new laws that will affect them in 2021, including those that went into effect immediately upon the Governor’s signing of various bills in September 2020. Some of the topics Pavneet covered include:

• New COVID-19 obligations related to reporting, sick leave and workers' compensation
• Cal/OSHA’s expanded authority to shut down worksites
• Expansions and amendments to protected family leave, including CFRA and PFL
• Wage and hour updates, such as amendments made to AB 5 and the professional exemption
• New privacy considerations related to the CCPA and CPRA
• Best practices for complying with the new legislative changes in 2021
