SUMMARY:5 Labor & Employment Updates to Make in 2016
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Evan Pontz and Rebecca Silk of Troutman Sanders LLP\n\n \n\nWe are already a few months into the new year\, so hopefully you have made all the crucial updates to your human resources policies and processes to address the new and changing employment issues that are coming in 2016. Join Evan Pontz and Rebecca Silk of Troutman Sanders LLP as they address 5 key updates and the practical steps every employer should take to remain compliant with the law.\n\nYou will learn about the following key issues and the concrete actions steps for employers large and small: \n\n1. Changes to the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) that are coming soon and what employers must do now for supervisors and others to remain "exempt" from the overtime and minimum wage provisions of that law.\n\n2. Where the law on discrimination or harassment of LGBTQ employees stands and is headed\, how recent lawsuits filed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) make this an extra hot topic\, and what employers need to think about and do now.\n\n3. What you can do to avoid the continuing problems with company social media and communication policies that lead employers to unintentionally violate the National Labor Relations Act   even employers without unionized employees.\n\n4. How the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has new higher penalties and reinvigorated priorities to address workplace safety issues\, and what you need to do right away to keep your employees safe.\n\n5. The EEOC's proposed changes to the EEO-1 form requiring new pay data by sex and race\, as well as its proposed new guidance on retaliation claims that may have employers pulling out their hair\, unless they make changes right away.
