Join us on the third Thursday of every month for Betsy’s Briefings, our new webinar series examining the key areas of California employment law that can cause employers grief. In our January edition, we will highlight the restrictions employers face in recruiting and hiring employees in California. Given the current labor shortage, many employers may be trying to expedite the hiring process while candidates are “playing hard to get.” Although employers may be tempted to take short cuts in the hiring process, they should keep in mind that California has proscriptive laws and regulations applicable to recruiting and hiring employees. This webinar will address the use of criminal background and salary history, credit and background investigations, pre-employment drug testing, and new hire documentation.
