By all accounts, 2023 was an active year for employment law changes. Along with busy federal regulators and state and local legislatures, increased geographic mobility of workers exacerbates the amount of change human resource professionals have to manage. 

Are you classifying and paying your workers correctly? The tests have changed in some cases, and new rules have been proposed that could have a significant impact on businesses. This webinar provided an update on the overall status of the law, a general overview of the changes that have taken effect, and tips to make compliance easier.

The DOL and the EEOC have been the regulatory agencies with the most impact on workplace protections for employee discrimination and violations of wage and hour regulations. It is critical that Employers be aware of all the actions and inactions against employees under these regulatory agencies and how they can mitigate all the regulations and maintain compliance. Some of the federal regulations overlap with other regulations and others conflict with state regulations. This training will address the regulations that are in place by the DOL and the EEOC and will also provide Employers with the information needed to manage the trending federal regulations and conflicting state regulations.

Attendees will learn the most effective way to mitigate the Federal Regulations mandated by the DOL and the EEOC. In addition, it will address the many state conflicting regulations and focus on the topics below:
