California Employment Law Update: Sex and Gender Protections in California Workplaces

Description:
It is no secret that California employment laws tend to be more protective of employees than federal employment laws. In the past year, California employers have found themselves caught between federal and California requirements that are increasingly at odds.

From expanded regulations on sexual harassment to the treatment of gender as non-binary, California continues to strengthen legal protections that differ from federal enforcement priorities. This webinar will explore these competing compliance obligations and discuss how to navigate them.
