It is Hard to Be an Employer in the City: Annual Update on Key Legal Developments for NYC Employers
Recent developments in federal, state, and local employment law have had a significant impact on New York employers. In this session, Foley’s experienced Labor & Employment attorneys will highlight and address these developments, including topical issues such as:
- Wage & Hour, including the status of federal and state salary basis tests
- Worker Misclassification, including NYC’s Freelance Isn’t Free Act
- Pay Equity, including New York’s year-old Achieve Pay Equity Law
- Paid Leave, including New York’s Paid Leave Program launching in 2018
- Arbitration Agreements, including the validity of class action waivers now before SCOTUS
- Affordable Care Act, including updates on health care reform and the impact on employers
- Restrictive Covenants, including procurement and enforceability
The discussion will focus on court decisions and legislative and administrative activity that have created a more challenging legal environment for employers, especially for businesses with personnel working in New York City.
