Fall 2009 Employment Law Update

During the past six months, important developments in the field of employment law have taken place.  For example, the EEOC recently approved proposed regulations implementing the ADA Amendments Act of 2008, the first step toward providing new ADA guidelines for employers.  In addition, the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in a highly anticipated and controversial reverse discrimination case provided a new standard to guide employers and courts in discrimination cases.  We have also seen litigation in the wake of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009, passed earlier this year, while Congress continues to move forward on the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA).  In addition to these legal developments, the N1H1 virus has many employers concerned about how to manage a possible outbreak while complying with federal and state employment laws. 

Our speakers will highlight these and other recent developments, including significant federal and state court decisions.  In addition, our comprehensive written materials will serve as an ongoing resource for employment and human resource issues

Price Reduction:  As announced earlier this year, we would like to do a little something to ease the financial pressures we are all facing this year.  All companies, school districts and municipalities are cutting back on administrative expenses, including educational training.  To encourage your continued attendance, for the remainder of 2009 we have “rolled back” our registration fees to what we charged 20 years ago—the 1989 prices.  All attendees may register for $25 per person, per seminar.  We hope that these savings will allow you or a colleague to attend.
