Program Details
Remote Work is Here to Stay: Legal Issues Involving the New Normal - Post-pandemic and in the fight for high quality employees, remote work and hybrid work appear to be a continuing request by employees and a benefit offered by many employers. In this session we will discuss a variety of legal issues that are raised when employers permit employees to work remotely.
The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA): It’s not just for unions - When you hear the NLRA or news from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and your employees aren’t unionized, you may tune out. This section will discuss why that’s not a good idea. We will cover many of the provisions that impact non-unionized workforces, including the NLRA/NLRB’s policymaking impact on non-unionized workforces.
Solving difficult ADA issues - The American with Disabilities Act continues to be one of the areas that provides the most difficulty for employers and HR professionals. Unlike other laws that have trained HR professionals to treat everyone equally, the ADA is a special treatment law, requiring employers to take disabled employees’ specific problems into consideration in crafting a solution. In this section, we will discuss some difficult HR problems that we see.
