26th Annual Employment Law Update 2017 (Online Seminar)

A pre-recorded streaming replay of the May 2017 live seminar, 26th Annual Employment Law Update.

For nearly three decades, 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:

• Strategies used by plaintiff’s counsel in vetting and then prosecuting an effective employment case
• Best practices in conducting workplace investigations, including investigations of harassment or discrimination allegations
• Complex challenges facing both employers and employees when mental and emotional impairments begin to impact the employee's performance and workplace conduct, including addressing issues of threats or potential workplace violence
• Insights from experienced practitioners on a “smorgasbord o’ employment law topics” rarely addressed in CLEs, such as: drug testing in the era of marijuana legalization; NLRA issues for the non-unionized employer; what to expect from a Trump-era NLRB;  issues facing government contractors; special issues when employing members of the military; and predictions about employment law changes under the current administration
• The current state of the law in providing religious accommodations, as well as accommodations required by pregnancy
• Annual Case Law Update
• Ethics
