Member Event, Littler: Employment Law Essentials: Avoiding Common Legal and Human Resources Pitfalls

  • Littler New York 900 3rd Avenue New York, NY, 10022 United States (map)

An overview of key areas of New York Employment law, as well as recent changes and requirements for employers.

At-will employment in the U.S. may suggest that the laws are easy to navigate. In reality, all businesses, from start-ups to multinationals, are challenged by continual changes to the law – at the city, state, and federal levels. To retain the advantages of flexibility that US employment law offers, employers need to be up-to-speed.

This session will cover key areas of New York Employment law, as well as recent changes and requirements for employers. Discussion topics will include:

  • The hiring process

  • Background checks

  • Restrictive covenants

  • Employee classification (whether employees are entitled to overtime)

  • Leaves of absence

  • Discrimination and sex harassment law

  • Independent contractors

  • Establishing workplace policies

  • Discipline and termination
