Don’t fall overboard! An active legislature, plaintiff-friendly judges, and a loose cannon plaintiff’s bar have increased the risk of being swamped by employment law mistakes. Errors with job postings, outside employment policies, and meal and rest periods now risk staggering class action damages.
Learn where the dangerous waters lie. We’ll also chart some unmarked reefs to comply with new 2026 laws on background checks, paid family medical leave, personnel files, reductions in force, sick leave, and more. Employment law attorney Catharine Morisset will help us weather the storm: attendees will learn key compliance requirements and develop a list of immediate action items to take back to their crew.
Learning Goals:
- Review job postings, outside employment policies, and meal and rest period compliance requirements for class action mitigation, including both the statutory requirements, but also new cases interpreting them
- Develop of list of policies that must be updated to avoid automatic liability – including PFML, personnel files, sick leave, and background checks
- Determine areas where immediate management training and procedural updates are needed for internal compliance with the new laws
