We will discuss:
- Whistleblower retaliation claims under Labor Code section 1102.5 and recent case law shifting burdens of proof.
- Documentation best practices for complaints, investigations, and terminations to reduce the risk of retaliation claims.
- Sexual harassment claims aimed at avoiding arbitration agreements and their implications for employers.
- New and emerging claims shaping the litigation landscape.
- Proactive measures for policy updates, training, and compliance to stay ahead of these claims.
