25th Annual Employment Law Update Seminar 2016 (Online Seminar)

A pre-recorded streaming VIDEO replay of the May 2016 live seminar, 25th Annual Employment Law Update Seminar

For 25 years, this seminar has been the indispensable educational and networking opportunity for all attorneys practicing in, or wanting to learn more about, employment law. This seminar provides detailed explanation, in-depth analysis, and practical advice for both management and plaintiffs’ counsel in a number of today’s hot employment topics.

Topics covered include:

• Learn all aspects of pre-employment screening, including mandated employer obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and recent “Ban the Box” legislation
• Hear federal judges address the “proportionality” concept in the newly revised discovery rules; the evolving Fourth Circuit case law on harassment, deficiencies, or common mistakes in federal court pleadings; and summary judgment in employment-law cases
• Discover critical personnel policies that all employers should implement
• Examine the complexity of managing employee leave issues with the interplay of the ADA and the FMLA.  Discover how best to address unpaid leave and employee accommodation requests under these statutes in order to minimize legal exposure
• Hear insights into the EEOC’s national strategic enforcement plan and recent EEOC judicial initiatives from experienced EEOC trial attorneys
