HR Law Update 2016—Information You Need to Know Now

Duration: 90 minutes

Speaker: Max Muller

 

Webinar Description

HR law is never static. Every year brings changes to federal and state laws and regulations, court interpretations of applicable law and decisions by the NLRB, OSHA, and the IRS. 2016 will be no different from any other year.

 

This fast-paced, information-rich webinar covers legal and regulatory developments last year that affect employers in 2016, changes that will be made in 2016 to applicable law, and likely developments, such as dramatic changes to the FLSA, continuing assaults on employer policies by the NLRB, increases in OSHA penalties, and the expanding information sharing and coordinated enforcement effort by the IRS and Wage and Hour Division of the US Department of Labor related to employee versus independent contractor status.
