Second graph of release should say Wednesday (sted Friday).

The corrected release reads:

ADVISORY/STATE DIVISION OF LABOR STANDARDS ENFORCEMENT TO COLLABORATE ON FREE STATE WAGE, HOUR AND PAYROLL TAX SEMINAR FOR EMPLOYERS

WHAT:       The California Division of Labor Standards and Enforcement
            (DLSE) in collaboration with the Employment and
            Development Department (EDD) will conduct a free State
            Wage, Hour, and Payroll Tax Seminar in Long Beach on
            July 26th.

WHEN:       Wednesday, July 26, 2006 from 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

WHERE:      Career Transitions Center, 3447 Atlantic Avenue, Long
            Beach, CA

BACKGROUND: The seminar will provide employers information on record
            keeping, reporting requirements, employer obligations, and
            payment requirements. Employers will also learn the basics
            on how to distinguish between an employee and an
            independent contractor and common wage and hour
            application. In addition: DLSE and EDD labor experts will
            be available to answer wage and hour questions. "Our
            experience is that most employers want to comply with the
            law, but many are unsure of what is required of them,"
            said Acting Labor Commissioner Robert Jones. "To address
            this need for information, we are reaching out to
            California's small business to help them understand
            employer and employee rights and responsibilities."

There is no charge for this seminar. Reservations are recommended and available by telephone: [phone] or [phone].
