Hot Topics in HR and Employment Law
Attorneys from Brown Winick Law Firm will present at the Annual Construction Convention & Expo in Des Moines on Tuesday, February 21, 2012, from 2:30 – 4:30 pm. Their presentation will cover the following HR and employment law topics:
- Enforcing Social Media & Computer Usage Policies
The latest developments in using discipline and performance coaching to make sure your employees adhere to your social media and computer usage policies will be covered. Also covered will be the legal tactics available when employees improperly download your confidential and trade secret information. - Employee or Independent Contractor
Mistakenly classifying an employee as an independent contractor can result in significant fines and penalties whether it be from the IRS or the Fair-Labor Standards Act (FLSA). New legislation is being proposed to target those employers who are misclassifying employees to avoid paying benefits. Don’t make the mistake which will result in fines, back pay and in some cases criminal charges. - Update on Hot Issues in Health Care – What’s an Employer to do?
Alice will discuss the current status of healthcare reform, including the effective dates of key provisions, regulatory developments and pending litigation challenging the constitutionality of the legislation. The focus of the discussion will be on the obligations of employers under the law, with an emphasis on employers of fewer than 50 employees.
