A year in review: Key U.S. labor and employment law developments in 2015 and what to expect in 2016
January 28, 2016
3 – 4:30 p.m. EST
There were significant labor and employment developments in the U.S. during 2015 and we expect to see at least as much action in 2016.
This webinar will provide a national perspective on the following topics:
- EEO developments: increased protections for women – particularly pregnant employees and new mothers – along with higher expectations for accommodating religious practices and disabilities.
- The newest wage and hour claims being pursued and practical tips for avoiding the most common mistakes when calculating hours worked and wages owed.
- Tactics being utilized by businesses to misappropriate trade secrets and steal away key personnel from competitors – practical strategies you can employ to minimize these problems.
- How the NLRB is flexing its muscles to aid with unionization and what you can do right now to help maintain your nonunion status.
- Continued legal and media attacks on the use of independent contractors and the outsourcing of management functions – how you can avoid being the next poster child of worker “exploitation.”
Webinar speakers include:
- John F. Baum (moderator), Hirschfeld Kraemer, San Francisco, California
- G. Joseph Curley, Gunster, West Palm Beach, Florida
- Francine Esposito, Day Pitney, Parsippany, New Jersey
- Sarah L. Ford, Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein, Raleigh, North Carolina
