"Essential Left Coast Employment Update: Strategies for Hoteliers," Davis Wright Tremaine Webinar

The "Left Coast" states of California, Oregon, and Washington are home to some of the world's most luxurious hotels and the birthplace of leading, innovative lifestyle brands. They are also some of the trickier states to navigate with respect to employment laws. Understanding the rules that intersect with the hotel business can be instrumental to the success of a business.

In the program, we covered the latest federal, state, and local employment and related laws that impact the Left Coast hotel industry, including:

• Health care reform
• Paid sick leave and related legislation
• Exempt vs. non-exempt employee status
• Trends in employee class actions
• Tip pooling
• Enforceability of non-compete provisions
• Maintaining a non-union shop
