Wild, Carter & Tipton A Professional Law Corporation

(Posting from Isa Trejo) Our office’s traditional Halloween staircase group pic is on hiatus until next year when we can once again do our indoor festivities. For 2020, an outdoor patio shot instead of those who dared to dress up this year. Happy Hallo-Weekend everyone!

Some Partners just don’t get the message that they don’t have to always work on Halloween...

Being around since 1893 has some fall backs....Happy Halloween!

Just sending out a reminder about tomorrow’s FCBA Oktoberfest event at Gazebo Gardens. WCT is a Sponsor of this family friendly event, which will include free food, and some beverages too! See the attached flyer for more details. Hope to see you there! Christina Jelladian-Buchner President Elect - Fresno County Bar Association Wild, Carter & Tipton

Today, the U.S. Department of Labor has provided employers covered by the Families First Coronavirus Response Act’s paid sick leave and expanded Family and Medical Leave provisions with the required notices to post. Employers must post the notice in a conspicuous place on its premises. The notice provides an explanation of employee rights to both paid sick leave and expanded Family and Medical Leave under the Act. Download it here. In the alternative, Employers may satisfy t...he notice requirements of the Act by emailing or direct mailing the notice to employees, or posting the notice on an employee information internal or external website. Since the Act’s requirements only apply to current employees, the notice does not have to be shared with laid-off individuals or prospective employees. All businesses covered by the Act (i.e., certain public sector employers and private sector employers with fewer than 500 employees) are required to post this notice, even if you are a small business owner. You can obtain the notices free of charge by contacting the Department’s Wage and Hour Division at 1-866-4-USWAGE (1-866-487-9243) or you can download and print the notice yourself. Wild, Carter & Tipton is here to assist you. If you have questions about the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, please do not hesitate to contact attorney - Monrae English at (559) 224-2131.
