Advice from Troester v Starbucks case for hourly workers: make sure all regular de minimus time is scheduled in, such as opening or locking up. De minimus time in CA isn't dead--it just needs to be not regular. @labor_attorneys
Be on the lookout in 2019: predictable schedule laws. There are ordinances coming into play so be aware. @labor_attorneys
PFL being expanded under SB 1123 to include military related leaves. Effective 2021. @labor_attorneys
Folks at @labor_attorneys noting that there is a notable increase in human trafficking claims. Rail, hotel, and other industries now have training requirements. 20 minutes isn't much but its a start.
"Reasonable request" for salary range now means a request after an initial interview. Finally some clarity based on new bill. @labor_attorneys
CA SB 1300 "expansion" of liability isn't really new since judges already read that into the law. @labor_attorneys HR update.
That's a wrap for my coverage of @ACCinhouse #ACCAM18. Hope to see you all in Phoenix for #ACCAM19. (And hoping for more live tweeters next year--I know there were a lot less of us this year!) Thanks again to all the ACC staff for putting on a great event. #DrinkingFromAFirehose
Neal Suggs @Microsoft with some straight talk about finding mentors. You can find them anywhere and even more junior people in the strangest places. "You just need to check your ego at the door." Thank you. @ACCinhouse #ACCAM18
Audience comment to panel: think outside the box for self-mentoring when you can't find a mentor. Google searches, Myers-Briggs tests, etc., just to try to figure out yourself, particularly after a "failure". @ACCinhouse #ACCAM18
