Dec 15    CA's New Standards for Maintaining a Safe Workplace
Montebello Chamber members are invited to an exclusive online informative 60-minute coffee chat with CalChamber's compliance experts on December 15th — to “chat” about the new requirements facing employers.  Participating in the conversation will be:

  • Bianca Saad, CalChamber Employment Law Counsel and Subject Matter Expert
