VENTURA — Employment law firm LightGabler is presenting “Pay Me Now or Pay Me Later…The Joys of California’s Wage & Hour Laws.” The seminar will be held twice: Tuesday, Sep. 10, in Oxnard and Tuesday, Sept. 24, in Simi Valley.

California’s wage and hour laws are more burdensome than those of any other state. Between determining the proper exemptions, enforcing the proper breaks, paying the proper wages and documenting the required information, there are a myriad of issues to consider for California employers. Simple mistakes can lead to substantial liability and penalties, even when the employer makes every effort to “do the right thing.”

In this informative seminar for employers, supervisors and human resource professionals, employment law attorney Karen L. Gabler will discuss the most common mistakes in wage and hour law. Topics include pay stub requirements, compensatory time and overtime, travel time and costs, expense reimbursement and the impact of arbitration agreements on wage and hour litigation.

The Oxnard seminar will be held at the Oxnard Courtyard Marriott (600 East Esplanade Dr., Oxnard) and the Simi Valley seminar will take place at the Best Western Posada Royale Hotel (1775 Madera Rd., Simi Valley). Both seminars are from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.

A continental breakfast will be served. Attendance is limited to no more than three people per company. Reservations are required at least 24 hours in advance and can be made by going to http://www.lightgablerlaw.com and clicking on “Seminars & Training.” For questions, call 805-248-7089.
