In recent years, there have been sweeping changes to various Federal and state labor & employment laws which have affected employers' obligations in areas such as hiring, wages, discrimination, and termination. During this discussion, we will: (1) review significant changes in recent years; (2) discuss the current state of the law and anticipated changes in employment law (including EEO developments, leave laws, ADA updates, and examples and case studies); and (3) suggest ways to be compliant with these changes. If employers have not already done so, they should review and revise their policies and procedures to ensure they are in compliance with these changes.
