Chapter Monthly Meeting
Topic: Strategic Responses To New Enforcements (A Legal Update)
Time: 7:30 - 9:30 AM
Location: Best Western Mill Creek Inn
Registration: Registration coming soon.
There have been several new and revised laws impacting the workplace over the last year and those changes aren’t stopping. It’s important for organizations to know what has happened, is happening and may be happening so that proactive steps can be taken to most effectively manage the various effects. Our August meeting will take a look at the employment related changes that are impacting today’s workplace and what organizations should be doing in response to and preparation for the quickly changing workplace environment.
Among the changes that will be reviewed are the:
- Changing terms of alternative employment relationships such as Independent Contractors and Interns
- What’s happening with FLSA and status determination of exempt vs. non-exempt requiring organizations to proactively address possible job classification issues.
- Expanding impact of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA)
- Posting requirements for Federal Contractors regarding Employee Rights
- And others….
The review of each of these changes will be on policy and process steps that organizations should consider making now, rather than waiting to experience any adverse consequences from these changing laws and regulations. Management team members must know how to apply specific policies and processes, including required documentation, so that each situation that occurs is responded to properly.
