The ability to navigate through the maze of federal and state employment laws is essential for every healthcare employer. Hospitals, nursing homes, community health centers, assisted living facilities, medical practices and other employers within the healthcare industry increasingly find themselves at the center of contentious lawsuits and expensive litigation.

Littler's 2013 Healthcare Summit is an interactive forum designed for industry professionals to discuss the pressing legal challenges facing healthcare employers today. We will hear from in-house counsel and human resources professionals – those on the from lines of legal issues facing the healthcare industry today. During this Summit, we will provide insight and solid strategic advice to help healthcare employers respond to critical issues, including:

Workplace Violence

• Increased risks for healthcare workers
• Recognizing the warning signs
• Policies, procedures and training
• OSHA guidelines for preventing workplace violence

FMLA / ADA / Leaves of Absence

• Handling the challenging and frequently-changing requirements under leave and accommodation laws
• The complex interplay between the FMLA, ADA and New York City Human Rights Law
• Preventative measures employers can take now to avoid skyrocketing litigation (both by administrative agencies and private litigants)

2014 and Beyond – A Legal Update for the Year Ahead

• The rise of "mega doc" practices — what does this mean for hospitals and medical centers?
• New affirmative action rules and its demand for swift contractor action
• Navigating New York City's new law prohibiting discrimination against the unemployed.
• What is required by New York City's new paid sick leave law?
• How can we deduct for overpayments or advances under the wage deduction regulations adopted by the state Department of Labor last month?

At lunch, Littler attorneys and participants from the healthcare industry will have an opportunity to share information and ideas regarding the most pressing workplace questions, such as how to manage a “problem” employee, worker [mis]classification, and changes in the law.
