About The Program:

 

A “bumper crop” of employment law cases brought significant changes to the field in 2015. Learn how they and other developments are likely to impact your clients and practice.

Last year, over 150 of your colleagues attended the Employment Law Roundtable and were brought up-to-date on the latest transformations in the field of employment law. This year’s program will do the same, where much of this year’s discussions will focus on significant case law developments and other issues that are critical for employment lawyers, corporate counsel and human resource professionals to understand. Attendees will gain valuable insights and strategies about these employment law “current events” so they can counsel clients and colleagues with confidence and authority.

 

Lead by a powerful panel of noted and highly regarded employment law attorneys, join us for this “can’t miss” case law review that will bring you up-to-speed on recent developments, including:
• Wage and Hour Developments - Including US Dept. of Labor’s proposal to amend the
  white collar exemption
• Affordable Care Act - Reporting requirements kick in 2016 and they are mandatory -
  here’s what your clients have to do to get ready and comply.
• LBGT Update - Is sexual orientation discrimination, sex discrimination?
  A discussion of the EEOC ruling and Complaint v. Anthony Fox
• Employment Arbitration Agreements - Jaworski v. Ernst and Young, and consent to
  mandatory arbitration
• Workplace Investigations - The Aguas case: Why anti-harassment policies are now a must
  and how the definition of “supervisor” just got broader
• Whistleblowing - The Lippman v. Ethicon: Under what conditions to “watch dogs” have
  CEPA protection if they whistle blow?
• Independent Contractors after Hargrove v. Sleepy’s: When the “independent contractor” is
  actually an employee
• Women’s Issues - Pregnancy, Leave, Young v. UPS and Equal Pay Act
• Social Media and Employment Law - Issues that continue to multiply
• Ethical Issues Relating to Employment Litigation - The Saavedra case and when
  ethical “alarms” should sound
