The After Hours series of Legal Alert video podcasts by Los Angeles Arent Fox partner Harry Johnson continues with Episode 11 with guest-host Jennifer Terry. After Hours examines general employment law and labor-management issues, especially in California, and their significance for in-house counsel and human resources professionals, all with a humorous twist. Harry has been awarded recognition as one of the Top Labor and Employment Attorneys in California.

In this episode, guest host Jennifer Terry discusses five things that might surprise Latin American companies thinking about doing business in California. Her conversation highlights how seemingly harmless employment ads may give rise to claims of discrimination, and what types of questions employers should avoid in the hiring interviews. Jennifer also discusses the process that employers must follow to verify that employees are authorized to work in the United States, and what steps an employer must take if it suspects an employee who is already hired may be using false documents to show work authorization. Finally, Jennifer discusses how Latin American entities may benefit from retaining a lawyer who not only shepherds them through the regulatory employment hurdles in California, but who also understands their business goals, culture and language.
