What Every Construction Industry Employer Should Know About Labor & Employment Laws

Please join us for a special breakfast briefing designed specifically as a risk management tool for construction industry employers. This program contains highly relevant information about N.J. and federal labor laws, presented in a practical manner that will help attendees minimize legal exposure to their businesses.

Topics of discussion include:

• Current trends in prevailing wage compliance and enforcement
• Management of union relationships including how to respond to concerted activity at job sites, lawful double breasting, and when and how to terminate a union agreement
• Common wage & hour errors to avoid such as recordkeeping requirements and "Off-the-Clock" work
• Fundamentals of human resource management including essential policies and training
• Immigration law basics to avoid liability in an I-9 audit
• The impact of Obamacare and other employee benefits issues, such as navigating union benefit fund audits
• The effective use of non-competes to protect against the theft of customers, employees and proprietary information

The briefing will be hosted by Littler shareholders, Russell McEwan and Alan Model. Russ and Alan are seasoned construction industry labor lawyers, and have extensive experience in representing developers, general contractors, construction management firms and union and non-union sub-contractors in all facets of employee and labor relations.
