About this event
Are you ready for 2021?
It’s that time again -- Happy New Year! Despite the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing social and political discord, California courts and our legislative representatives still found time to create new hurdles for employers in 2021. To fully protect the workplace from costly employment disputes and government audits, California employers, managers and human resource professionals must stay abreast of the ever-changing landscape of employment laws in our state and cities, as well as the cases decided by California and federal courts throughout the year.
Co-convened by: the Nonprofit Resource Network (NPRN), the Ventura County Community Foundation, the Santa Barbara Foundation, the Fund for Santa Barbara & Leading from Within.
