Speaker: Katheryn  Bradley and Craig Day, Lane Powell  PC

Topic: "Employment Law and Executive Compensation Issues for Startups"
 

About the Topic: 

Katheryn Bradley and Craig Day of Lane Powell PC will answer some common questions that they receive from startups during early stages, including:

·        Can we promise equity in exchange for services since we cannot afford to pay salaries?

·        Our options are underwater, can we just trade them for new options or restricted stock?

·        Isn’t it a good idea to hire consultants as independent contractors? 

·        Must we pay $15 per hour to workers in Seattle?

·        Can founders be held liable personally for failing to pay wages?

·        Are we required to provide vacation, sick time and health benefits? 

·        Can we just reimburse our employees if they buy health coverage through the state?

·        Why should we use offer letters or employment agreements since Washington is an at-will state?

·        Why would we need an employee handbook since we’re so small?

·        Our consultant is not a good fit, and we need to part ways.  Can you send a boilerplate release?

Parking: Parking is available in the U.S. Bank Centre.

We look forward to your attendance and participation!
