PRESIDENT'S PEN
Don't Miss the 2012 Annual NCPA HR Summit - You Put the HR in SuperHeRo!

Please join us on May 9th for the Summit event with the theme: You Put the HR in SuperHerRo. There has never been a time in our history when HR has been presented with more challenges; and our members have responded with SuperHerRo traits – efficiency, quickness, and bravery.
This half-day event will help you fine-tune your skills. We are incredibly fortunate to present notable speakers such as: Ken Jennings, Steve Murphy, Nicole Spracale, and Jan Zaragoza. In SuperHerRo tradition, each has their own strength, and in combination, they can defeat any villainous problem. They will coach you to motivate, engage, and lead. As SuperHeRos have the latest and greatest technology (cars, suits, weapons), Nicole will arm you with the best uses of social media to attract the best talent.
The Summit will be held at the Sheraton . . . follow the beacon in the sky . . . or rely on your spidey-senses. Just don’t miss your powerful entrance!

Lunch Police Recalled
California Supreme Court Finally Decides Brinker Case
Weary patrol officers of the Lunch Police (aka California employers) have been called off the beat. After an inexplicably long wait, the California Supreme Court finally issued a unanimous ruling in a landmark case titled Brinker v. Superior Court. The decision favors employers because it relieves them of the duty to force employees to break. But employers who don’t read beyond newspaper headlines risk getting sued for failing to learn the nuances of the Court’s ruling.
