Avoiding Discrimination, Retaliation, and Whistleblower Liability

September 10, 2026 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM (PDT)

Description

SBCA, in partnership with Littler Mendelson, Labor & Employment Law Firm, presents:


Wage and Hour Avoiding Discrimination, Retaliation and Whistleblower Liability 


Many employment lawsuits don't begin with a major incident—they start with a routine employee complaint that wasn't handled correctly. A conversation, disciplinary action, or missed documentation can quickly become the foundation of a costly legal claim.

This live Zoom seminar provides practical legal guidance to help business owners, managers, and supervisors recognize employment risks before they escalate. Learn how to properly respond to employee complaints, conduct defensible workplace investigations, and reduce your organization's exposure to discrimination, retaliation, and whistleblower claims under California law.

What you'll learn:

  • Recognize how routine employee complaints can evolve into discrimination, retaliation, and whistleblower claims.
  • Understand the legal risks surrounding wage complaints, workplace safety concerns, and protected employee activity.
  • Navigate the complex overlap between workers' compensation, employee leave laws, and disability accommodations.
  • Conduct workplace investigations that are thorough, objective, and legally defensible.
  • Improve documentation practices that strengthen your position if a claim arises.
  • Understand when disciplinary action may create retaliation concerns and how to manage employee performance appropriately.
  • Learn practical strategies to reduce legal exposure while maintaining a fair and compliant workplace.

The way your company responds to employee concerns can have lasting legal and financial consequences. This session will help you make informed decisions, protect your business, and confidently manage workplace issues before they become costly claims.
