Employers: Are You Ready For 2018?
January 30, 2018 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Governor Cuomo has declared that NY will be the most protective of employee rights in the Country!
Over the last three years, New York State and City have enacted some of the most far-reaching employment laws and regulations. Compliance with these laws is complex, and the penalties for failing to be in compliance are severe. These laws cover all aspects of the employer-employee relationship – bans on inquiries about past salaries, annual increases in minimum wage and the threshold salary for treating employees as exempt from overtime, paid sick time, paid family leave, and scheduling laws, just to name a few.
At the same time, all these new regulatory requirements are being framed by #MeToo, equal pay for equal work, and a zero-tolerance discrimination policies, fundamentally changing the workplace and the relationship between employer and employees.
Join us as Kerrie R. Heslin, the Managing partner of Nukk-Freeman & Cerra P.C. employment attorneys, discusses the requirements of these new laws and how employers can ensure compliance, reduce risk, and develop a safe and productive workplace for all.
