Attorney Greg Grobe and other members of the LCOJ employment law team will discuss 2016 legal developments which present the greatest impact on Fox Valley SHRM Human Resource professionals. The team will provide their insight on the developments, provide recommendations for compliance, and answer questions from the audience.

Topics will include:

• New 2016 state and federal legislation, regulations and guidances and steps that employers must be taking to comply. Examples include the new federal ADA Guidance on Leave as an Accommodation, final EEOC rules on Wellness Programs, the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, the new Wisconsin Donor Leave Law, new rules issued from the National Labor Relations Board, new EEOC Guidance on National Origin discrimination, and many others.

• Upcoming deadlines for additional legal changes that will necessitate further modifications to workplace policies and practices. Examples include the November 1, 2016 implementation date for new OSHA rules restricting discipline for safety rule violations and post-accident drug tests, the December 1, 2016 implementation date for the new FLSA salary exemption rules and recent developments affecting those new rules, the January 1, 2017 implementation date for paid sick leave policies mandated for federal contractors, and many others.

• Discussion of the most important litigation and lawsuits impacting Fox Valley SHRM members. Examples include FCRA claims surrounding employee background check policies and forms, ADA website accessibility challenges, recent cases clarifying the “misconduct” standard under the Wisconsin Unemployment Law, update on the challenge to Wisconsin’s Right to Work Law, recent FMLA and ADA cases, and many others.

Attendees will be encouraged to discuss their experiences with the new laws and to bring any questions they have for review and comment by the LCOJ employment law team.
