On March 29, 2022, I presented a complimentary webinar entitled “New York Employment Discrimination Update”. For those who couldn’t attend the live webinar, I’m happy to make it available for you to watch at your convenience.
In the webinar, I discuss:
- Legislative Developments
- Agency Procedures
- Trends & Statistics
- Requirements & Precautions
and much more!
New York Governor Kathy Hochus recently signed new state laws designed to increase employee protections against employment discrimination. This webinar discusses these amendments, plus additional pending legislation. How will the new laws affect employers?
The webinar also addresses recently released data on federal employment discrimination charges filed with the EEOC. Learn about a decline in claims and what it may mean.
Why You Should Watch “New York Employment Discrimination Update”
There are specific new provisions that New York employers should become aware of, including a new form of retaliation based on release of employee personnel files. The New York Division of Human Rights must also create a new sexual harassment complaint hotline to assist employees in filing claims. Proposed legislation that may be coming next would require even more dramatic changes to employer practices.
The presentation includes analysis of data from the EEOC for fiscal year 2021. We discuss the operational and filing trends and what they may suggest about the prevalence of employment discrimination and employee motivations to assert claims.
This subject is not going away, and the likelihood of liability for New York employers may be increasing. Thus, we also consider the difference between required preventative measures and options to better protect your organization from employment discrimination.
