This past year was a big one for employment law, with the Department of Labor's FMLA regulations going into effect and employers struggling to sort out just how the ADA Amendments Act altered their responsibilities and expanded workers' rights.

Brace yourself—2010 is stacking up to be another blockbuster year for labor and employment law.

Chatter continues from Washington on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, the Employee Free Choice Act, and the Paycheck Fairness Act, and courts around the state have been hard at work handing down decisions that affect your obligations.

Add to the mix the Obama Administration's resolve to hammer out a workable solution to the nation's healthcare crisis, as well as the continued uncertainty within California over workers' meal and rest breaks, and employers have the tall task of anticipating where they will need to focus their compliance efforts in 2010 and beyond.

Join us on Jan. 5 for an in-depth, 90-minute interactive webinar all about what to expect in 2010. Our expert—a seasoned California labor and employment attorney—will explain:

• Which proposed state and federal laws and regulations could affect minimum wage, immigration, overtime, family and medical leave, and more
• The latest trend in wage-and-hour lawsuits in California, and the best practice strategies for defending compensation-related class actions in 2010 and beyond
• How the proposed EFCA could make it easier for union leaders to organize or expand
• The major state and federal court decisions from this past year that could change your employment policies for 2010 and for years to come
• The practical steps you should take right now to prepare for what's in store
