Harry presents and produces “After Hours,” a video podcast designed primarily for in-house counsel and human resources professionals who deal with employment law matters. Using individual podcasts devoted to discrete issues, Harry covers both best practices for legal compliance and recent developments in employment law. The program draws from the realm of wage-hour law, union/management legal and collective bargaining issues, and the wide range of employment law issues generally, but with a particular emphasis on California law and legal developments. Harry hopes to offer the viewer a valuable, informative but also humorous perspective, all in the context of a brief podcast that you can watch at your convenience from your device. The program is available for automatic download to your computer and mobile device through iTunes.
