CANCELED
Please join us at Hotel Erwin for our quarterly, lunch-time series, Lunch & Learn where business professionals, while enjoying a delicious lunch, obtain information and tips for refining skills and acquiring new knowledge.
Attend and learn the latest changes in labor laws that could impact your business:
- AB5 - independent contractor relationships
- Mandatory harassment training
- Minimum wage
- Q&A opportunity on specific issues
Registration includes presentation & lunch.
Program Description: There are several significant 2020 California labor and employment laws that employers need to be aware of, as they may affect daily business operations, policies and employees. Some new laws make significant changes to California law, like Assembly Bill (AB) 5, addressing independent contractor relationships. Others made small but significant changes of which employers must be aware of, altering mandatory harassment prevention training deadlines, for instance. And of course, January 1, 2020 marks another increase in the minimum wage pursuant to SB3, which took effect in 2016. Employers may need to analyze other pay practices affected by an increase in the minimum wage. Newhouse Law Group PC will review the new laws that took effect on January 1, 2020 and discuss how these may impact California businesses as well as provide an opportunity for Q&A at the end of the program.
Members: $25.00
Guests: $35.00

About Lunch & Learn
The Venice Chamber of Commerce Lunch & Learn event is a quarterly series. Local business professionals are invited to enjoy a delicious lunch while obtaining information and tips for refining various skills and acquiring new knowledge for immediate use.
Event speakers provide a topic proposal along with a summary on what guests can expect to learn. Our goal is to deliver content that is relevant, engaging and contributes to enhancing participants’ professional and personal experience.
As another benefit to membership, the Venice Chamber continually seeks to provide programs and activities that help our members connect, promote and support business interests in Venice.
Interested in presenting? Download proposal form here, complete and email to info@venicechamber.net.We don't want to date ourselves, but Hotel Erwin has remained a Venice Beach staple since 1975. The man behind our hotel is a local legend, though he'll never admit it, and his vision to welcome all travelers and treat them like family still influences our hospitality today.
Here at Hotel Erwin, we give our guests an unmistakably Venice Beach experience. Our vibrant rooms and event spaces capture a unique aesthetic that sets the scene for any occasion. Not only do we put guests right next to the beach, but we are also steps away from the areas famed shopping, dining, and activities. When you finally return back to the hotel, there?s always a seat at our rooftop bar High Lounge or low-key dining spot Barlo Kitchen + Cocktails.
