ASA Webinar Next Week for California Employers—Complimentary to Members

Although staffing firms operating in California face disproportionate exposure to class actions and claims under the Private Attorneys General Act, recent PAGA reforms change the risk landscape and create a meaningful opportunity for employers to reduce PAGA penalties if they can demonstrate a structured, proactive wage and hour compliance program.

Learn how your firm can design a compliance program that meets the new standard during the ASA webinar “PAGA Reform in California: From Million-Dollar Mayhem to Meaningful Penalty Reduction.” It takes place Thursday, April 2, 2–3 p.m. Eastern time. Sponsored by Staffing GC, an ASA legal sponsor.

All ASA webinars are complimentary for ASA members, and most qualify for continuing education hours toward ASA certification renewal. To learn more and to register, visit americanstaffing.net.
