Employment and labor lawyers, human resources personnel, employee relations professionals and other senior management must be aware of the ever-changing labor and employment law landscape. From changes to minimum wage and overtime exemptions to large-scale Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) investigations, 2016 seems poised to bring a new set of challenges, liabilities and risks to employers.
In a two-hour LIVE Webcast titled “The Dynamic Era of Labor and Employment Law: What’s In and Out of 2016,” Orlando partner Mary Ruth Houston will speak about the latest developments in equal opportunity employment law, including the EEOC’s new guidance on retaliation, recent cases concerning sex stereotyping and gender identity issues, and class actions. Other topics will include recent updates to labor and employment law, updates about FSLA wage and hour laws, employee and overtime exemptions, best practices, and more.
The webcast will take place from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday, October 26. Complimentary passes are available for the first 30 registrants. Once all the passes are used, attendees can register for the discounted rate of $25, courtesy of Shutts & Bowen LLP.
