4:15 – 5 p.m. 2016 Labor and employment developments: A year-end recap
This presentation will highlight workplace issues that were front and center during 2016 and provide insight into how they will impact employers, and inside counsel in particular, in 2017. From federal developments including new overtime regulations, EEO-reporting requirements, and the Department of Labor’s expansive view of who is an “employer” and “employee”; to state-specific developments throughout the United States, including two states adopting a $15 minimum wage, new paid leave entitlements and restrictions on background screenings. Finally, we will summarize recent employment-related cases in Wisconsin, including the Lanning decision, invalidating an employee non-solicitation provision that may look strikingly similar to a provision you may find in your company’s employment agreements.
Speakers: Margaret Kurlinski, labor, employment & immigration shareholder – Godfrey & Kahn, S.C. and Rebeca López, labor, employment & immigration associate – Godfrey & Kahn, S.C.
