Overview
+

Peter Hering advises employers of all sizes on how to navigate the intricacies of California’s employment laws, in particular its complex wage and hour requirements.

Peter divides his time between counseling employers on strategies for proactively assessing and minimizing litigation risk and representing employers facing a broad array of employment claims.

Transactional Advice
  • Assisting California and national employers with wage and hour compliance self-audits;
  • Drafting handbooks, workplace policies, employment agreements, separation agreements;
  • Advising on leave of absence and disability accommodation issues;
  • Advising on employee discipline and termination issues; and
  • Providing in-person sexual harassment training pursuant to A.B. 1825.
Employment Litigation
  • Defending employers in all types of wage and hour litigation, including class actions and representative actions under California’s Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA).
  • Defending employers in discrimination, retaliation, harassment, disability and wrongful termination cases in state and federal court.
  • Representing employers in administrative proceedings before the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, the California Division of Labor Standards, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the U.S. Department of Labor, and similar agencies.
  • Representing employers during government audits (whether by the California Division of Labor Standards, the U.S. Department of Labor, or the California Employment Development Department).

Before joining Rutan in 2014, Peter practiced as a litigation association at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, LLP in New York City.
