TASTING ON THE TERRACE & CLE

Crystal Clear: 
Compliance Strategies for the Growing Pay Transparency Trend

REGISTER HERE

One (1) CLE Credit Approved.

Join Ogletree Deakins panelists Mike Bell and Ann Lee for this May 18th Tasting on the Terrace CLE: "Pay Transparency Strategies." Learn, then enjoy a delicious wine & food pairing guided by an Attimo Wine Steward on the Rooftop of Colorado Center near I-25 & Colorado.

The state of Colorado has been joined by multiple other states and localities in enacting new legislation requiring employers to disclose pay and benefits information at various points in the hiring and promotional process.  These requirements become particularly complex for companies with multistate operations and those relying heavily on remote workers. 

This session will discuss key strategies for dealing with the following issues from the growing pay transparency trend:

  • Legal compliance
  • Employee relations
  • Immigration issues

Agenda:  
4:00-4:30 P.M.    Registration/Networking
4:30-5:30 P.M.    CLE Program - Crystal Clear: Compliance Strategies for the Growing Pay Transparency Trend
5:30-6:30 P.M.    Attimo Wine Tasting Reception

Please join us on the Zoom platform for our ACC-SFBA employment law consultation for 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations. This event is presented by Cozen O'Connor and organized in conjunction with the Justice & Diversity Center of the Bar Association of San Francisco (JDC).

FRIDAY, MAY 12, 2023

The afternoon will consist of:

12:15pm: Lunch Delivery & Introductions 12:30 - 1:45pm: Volunteer Training (1.25 hrs California CLE Credit) 1:45 - 2:00pm: Breakout Room Prep Time for Volunteers 2:00 - 2:20pm: Non-Profit Introductions 2:20 - 4:20pm: Consultations 4:20 - 4:30pm: Break 4:30 - 5:15pm: Networking Reception

The event starts with a virtual CLE training session, by Cozen O’Connor, to update ACC members on employment law in California. Next, members will be placed into small teams (with one or two other attorneys) to meet with their assigned nonprofit clients. Teams will have a couple hours to help their clients identify employment law issues and to counsel their clients. Cozen O'Connor employment attorneys will be standing by to assist with challenging questions. All ACC members are welcome, regardless of your level of experience - you do not have to be an employment attorney to participate, and you are not required to provide pro bono services to your assigned clients after this event. Examples of the types of non-profits these events have helped in the past include:

  • An organization that empowers young mothers to complete their high school and post-secondary education and nurtures their children’s development
  • An organization that supports low-income families during the pandemic by distributing packages of education essentials
  • An organization that works on behalf of low-income immigrants and refugees through advocacy, education, legal services, and other community-based services
