This program is designed for in-house counsel and HR professionals

Please join us for an informative two hour briefing, where we will focus on new and expanding labor and employment laws affecting companies that do business in New York. Our interactive discussion will provide employers with practical tips on how to respond to these developments in their day-to-day operations so as to avoid legal issues.

This program will bring you the latest court, legislative, and regulatory activity that you need to know now, and will need to know in the coming months, including:

  • The good and bad news concerning the Wage Theft Prevention Act
  • Sick leave law developments
  • Ban-the-box laws – Rochester and Buffalo
  • Ever-expanding definition of concerted activity protected by the National Labor Relations Act for both non-unionized and unionized workers
  • Implications of these new developments for handbook provisions and employment policies
  • EEOC initiatives to limit the scope of releases and settlement agreements and some practical options
  • New case law on arbitration agreements with class action waivers or shortened times for raising claims
  • New class action threats: Fair Credit Reporting Act? Others?

Wage and Hour

Our innovative strategies prevent and limit employer's exposure in every type of wage and hour claim.

Leaves of Absence and Disability Accommodation

Managing employee absences, leave entitlements and requests for disability accommodation is a central obligation – and challenge – for employers, large and small.

Background Checks

With employers increasingly relying on background checks, we guide employers through the myriad of rules.

Labor Management Relations

Labor law has been a cornerstone of Littler’s practice since the firm’s inception nearly 70 years ago.

Legislative and Regulatory

We help you stay abreast of changes to the laws that regulate the workplace by monitoring, tracking and reporting on legislation, regulations, federal agency activity and Executive Orders that impact the labor and employment landscape.

Class Action

Littler is highly experienced in employment class actions, defending clients in hundreds of wage/hour, discrimination and other work-related disputes.

Hiring, Performance Management and Termination

Littler attorneys work with clients daily to manage any issues that may arise during the employment lifecycle. From hiring to termination, employers are at risk for any missteps that could lead to litigation or other charges.
