Recent Developments in Employment Law

James Olney, JD AFG Home

Not only are laws impacting the workplace constantly changing, but trends in the courtroom and major enforcement initiatives launched by regulatory agencies can create new compliance concerns under pre-existing laws. Yet despite this state of flux, employers are required to be in full compliance almost as soon as the new laws or trends come into being. Fortunately, attending this session will help give you the information you need to understand the recent developments that may profoundly impact your organization. We will also offer an open-ended Q&A session for you to try and stump our expert presenter with your toughest employment law questions.
