“Leave, Drugs, and Stress”: Cutting-Edge Issues Under the Americans with Disabilities Act

“It Always Hurts to Say Goodbye”: Claims That Can Arise When an Employee Leaves
John C. Davidson, Edward Lee Isler

What can employees do when they decide to leave their employer? How far does the duty of loyalty extend, and when do departing employees cross that line?

“Lauer, Weinstein, and Rose, Oh My!” Addressing Sexual Harassment Situations in the “#Me Too” Era
John M. Bredehoft, Carla D. Brown, Joan S. Morrow

Sexual harassment has been illegal for 40 years, so why does it seem that some people are just now catching on? What changes should employers consider for policies, training, claim investigation, and discipline? How should lawyers advise individuals claiming harassment? Have settlement values changed? What is the impact of the Tax Reform Act provisions on settlements with non-disclosure agreements? And are there areas where the pendulum may be swinging too far?

“Pay Me Now or Pay Me Later”: Developments Under the Fair Labor Standards Act
Paul DeCamp, Mary C. Lombardo

The U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division recently reversed course in a number of critical areas while employers continue to struggle with understanding the nuances of overtime exemptions. This session will provide practical guidance to counsel for employers and employees in the never-ending battle to understand our nation’s overtime laws.

“The Coming Tsunami”: Growing Trends in State and Local Employment Statutes
Fairfax: Elizabeth M. Ebanks, Lori H. Turner
Richmond: Elizabeth M. Ebanks, Kristina H. Vaquera

In the last five years, numerous states and municipalities have enacted laws increasing the rights of employees to certain kinds of benefits or restricting the rights of employers to inquire into certain areas of employees’ lives. This session will focus on the nature of those changes in the likelihood that those changes will be coming to Virginia.
