HR Legal Update: Recent Developments and Hot Topics

Program Description

Employers scrambled to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, and now employers are looking to return to something resembling normal.  With all of these rapid changes, come complicated legal issues.  At the same time, courts and administrative agencies continue to issue decisions and guidance on non-COVID-19 related issues. 

This presentation will cover the hottest legal issues facing employers, including new legal developments.  This presentation will overview the relevant law, but also help HR professionals put the law into action.  Attendees will work through hypotheticals, case studies, and the practical implications of how the law will apply in their workplace. 


Participants will learn:   

  • The latest legal aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic (including considerations for employees with “long COVID”);
  • Common wage and hours errors (and how to avoid them); and
  • Understanding the legal parameters around leaves of absences, flexible scheduling, and other issues related to “the new normal.”
