The "Left Coast" states of California, Oregon, and Washington are home to some of the most dynamic restaurants and food and beverage trends in the United States. They are also some of the trickier states to navigate with respect to employment laws. Understanding the rules that intersect with the restaurant business can be instrumental to the success of a business.

Those operating on the Left Coast or have plans to, joined us in-person at one of our Left Coast offices—Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, and Portland—or via webinar for this fast-paced and informative 90-minute session. We covered the latest federal, state, and local employment and related laws that impact the Left Coast restaurant industry, including:

  • Health Care Reform
  • Minimum wage issues
  • Paid sick leave and related legislation
  • Exempt vs. non-exempt employee status
  • Trends in employee class actions
  • Tip pooling
  • Enforceability of non-compete provisions

(On-demand versions are not eligible for CLE credit.)
