Partner Joe Harris Leads Live Webinar on Hot Topics in Labor & Employment Law

On Thursday, March 30th, partner Joseph Harris led an Employment Law Update via live webinar sponsored by the TemPositions Group of Companies and HR Roundtable. Attendees had the opportunity to ask Joe questions regarding labor and employment law and how companies should approach the following topics:

• Staying compliant with NYC and NYS’s pay transparency laws.
• Recent NY state and federal laws that restrict an employer’s ability to limit public exposure of sexual harassment allegations.
• Expanded protections for nursing employees under NY law.
• Recent NY protections for lawful absences and the impact on employer attendance policies.
• The US Supreme Court’s recent decision finding that an employee who earned $200,000 per year was eligible for overtime (and takeaways for employers).
• The National Labor Relations Board’s recent decision restricting the use of confidentiality and non-disparagement clauses in severance agreements, and how employers should respond.
• The Federal Trade Commission’s proposed rule banning non-competes and why it might be a blessing in disguise for employers.
• The US Department of Labor’s proposed rule on independent contractors and what it means for employers.
• Employee handbook policies under scrutiny by the National Labor Relations Board.
