Every year, courts and administrative bodies issue influential and often far-reaching decisions in the field of labor and employment law.  This past year has been no exception.  This presentation will highlight the key case decisions from state and federal courts and administrative agencies, as well as offer updates on new federal and state laws and regulations that will impact your business.

The #MeToo Movement has caused a significant change in how sexual harassment and sexual assault victims are portrayed and treated, whether in schools, workplaces or society in general.  This presentation will go in depth and analyze the impact that the #MeToo movement has had on employers, and provide an updated refresher on how all employers must promptly respond to harassment complaints.  

Employers incorrectly exempting employees from overtime remains one of the most frequent and most punishing mistake employers can make under wage and hour laws.  This presentation will provide the latest update and review of overtime exemptions under both federal and state law, and also give employers key pointers to avoid misclassification of exempt employees.     

Employers on a regular basis face employee requests for both short-term and long-term leaves of absence.  This presentation will summarize the laws that require leaves of absence - under the family leave laws and disability laws such as the FMLA and the ADA - and provide critical advice as to how all employers need to handle these problematic requests without violating the law.      

New Jersey passed two significant laws affecting all employers in the State - the Paid Sick Leave Act and the Pay Equity Law. This presentation will provide a brief overview of those new laws, but also provide the latest update, including a summary of the soon-to-be-finalized regulations on these critical and groundbreaking laws.

Have any other questions?  The Archer Law Group team will convene a panel discussion to answer the most pressing questions not covered in the other presentations.  Please submit the questions you want answered, when you RSVP for the event, and the Panel may address your question with the audience.
