Wage and hour mistakes continue to cost employers with operations in California huge sums in jury verdicts, attorneys’ fees, settlements, and back wages. With argumentatively the most complex wage and hour laws on the books of any state, processing payroll and keeping in compliance with California requirements can be a tricky combination. But it can be done.

Don't miss your chance to get the help you need to ensure you’re abiding by California’s ever-changing and employee-friendly payroll laws. Register today for this IOMA audio conference.
