• Roundup of the most important new federal and state laws affecting employers;

• More on the continuing legal battle over who is a “joint employer” and key liability issues concerning employee wages and benefits, discrimination, harassment, accommodation requirements, and FMLA application;
• The hottest wage and hour issues, including unpaid interns; new rules impacting class actions and compensable time; impact of new IRS regulations on automatic gratuities; demise of the companionship exemption for agency-employed home care workers; and
• Has the time come to implement an arbitration program? The impact of recent Supreme Court decisions on the enforcement of class and collective action waivers in arbitration agreements and how states across the country are responding.
