Masterclass: Terminating California Employees, Exiting with Confidence: Best Practices for Lawful Terminations and Litigation Prevention
A termination is one of the highest-risk decisions a California employer makes—and often the first thing a plaintiff's attorney scrutinizes when a claim comes in. Performance issues, misconduct, protected leave, final pay deadlines, and severance terms all have to be weighed before the decision is final, and a misstep on any one of them can turn a routine separation into a wrongful termination, discrimination, or retaliation claim.
Join Anthony Zaller and Anne McWilliams for a practical Masterclass designed to help California employers make sound, defensible termination decisions while minimizing litigation exposure. Attendees will leave with actionable guidance on documentation, pre-termination risk assessments, separation and final pay requirements, and severance and release agreements.
Key Takeaways
Participants will learn how to:
Identify the legal risks that should be assessed before a termination decision is final
Build documentation that supports and defends the decision
Conduct a termination meeting that reduces conflict and exposure
Use severance and release agreements effectively
Meet California's final pay and separation requirements Reduce the risk of wrongful termination, discrimination, and retaliation claims

Masterclass: PAGA Workshop for California Employers
Get Your 2026 PAGA Certificate & Slash Penalties by Up to 85%.
California’s Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) enforcement environment is more aggressive than ever, and California employers across various industries are feeling the pressure. Nearly two years after PAGA reform, one thing is clear: PAGA is not going away. Claim filings remain elevated, enforcement is increasing, and 2026 is shaping up to be a critical year for employers that haven’t taken proactive compliance steps.
Join Zaller Law Group for a 2026 PAGA Workshop designed for California employers who want to reduce exposure, demonstrate good-faith compliance efforts, and stay ahead of enforcement trends. Attendees will receive a 2026 PAGA Certificate, which serves as legal documentation of “reasonable compliance efforts,” along with practical strategies to reduce PAGA penalties by up to 85%, supported by real-world case studies.
The session will also include a live, exclusive Q&A and a one-page PAGA preparedness scorecard to help evaluate your organization’s current level of PAGA readiness.
Attendance for the full duration of the masterclass is required to receive certification. Sponsored by Harri
