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.
