Topics

• Effective Internal Investigations and Avoiding Common Mistakes
  Presented by James R. O’Connor and Mark F. Pincelli
  Although we strive to create workplaces free from harassment and discrimination, inevitably issues arise, and they must be properly investigated. Following the appropriate steps and avoiding common missteps can ensure that your employees are protected and that your company complies with its legal obligations. This presentation will focus on providing professionals with insight into conducting an efficient and effective investigation. In addition, Phillips Lytle will guide professionals through hypotheticals that will assist attendees with honing their investigative skills.
• The Basics of I-9 Compliance
  Presented by Zabrina V. Reich and Danielle M. Rizzo
  This presentation is ideal for those seeking to enhance their understanding of I-9 compliance. Topics that will be covered include best practices for completing and maintaining I-9 Forms, avoiding discrimination in the hiring process, what steps should be taken if an employee cannot present acceptable proof of employment authorization and an overview of E-Verify. Participants will leave with practical knowledge and resources to effectively manage I-9 compliance and mitigate risks associated with non-compliance.
• Union Organizing
  Presented by James R. Grasso, Amanda L. Lowe and Linda T. Prestegaard
  Union organizing is back at high levels and likely to continue based on perceived workplace equity issues, inflation’s impact on wages, return to office mandates and more. This proactive presentation will discuss union organizing trends, an overview of the campaign process, the “dos” and “don’ts” when dealing with a campaign, and provide an interactive experience involving a simulated union organization.
• Labor and Employment Law Legal Update: Recent Changes and What to Watch Out for in the Future
  Presented by Kevin J. Mulvehill and Nicholas P. Fedorka
  This presentation will cover some of the more significant recent changes in labor and employment law and how it will affect your business moving forward. From the FTC’s non-compete ban, FLSA overtime rule change, paid lactation breaks, paid prenatal care leave, minimum wage increases, COVID-19 Sick Leave, and other various topics, our attorneys will ensure that you are up-to-date on some of the more important changes to the law.
