2023 New York Employment Law Update (Webinar Recap)

On March 30, 2023, I presented a complimentary webinar entitled “2023 New York Employment Law 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:

New York continues to be one of the most proactive states in regulating the employment relationship. In late 2022, the State enacted several new laws and amendments imposing new restrictions and requirements on employers. Recent developments at the federal level also impact New York employers.

Why You Should Watch “2023 New York Employment Law Update”

If you are in human resources or management with supervisory responsibility over other employees, you need to remain up-to-date on the latest developments in workplace law. For example, are you aware of new pay transparency requirements, which will even require New York employers to publish job descriptions in job postings? Did you know there are new circumstances where employees can take Paid Family Leave? And, could minimum wage be increasing even higher?

Beyond New York law changes, the federal government is becoming increasingly restrictive on employers. The National Labor Relations Board recently deemed many common severance agreement clauses unlawful. Consequently, documents your company has commonly used in the past could result in unfair labor practice charges, even where employees didn’t sign proposed agreements!

Coming soon, New York employers may need to update their sexual harassment prevention policies, provide additional amenities to nursing mothers, and provide information to warehouse employees about production quotas. Watch our 2023 New York Employment Law Update to find out whether and how these topics affect you.

Remote Employees in New York (Webinar Recap)

On September 29, 2022, I presented a complimentary webinar entitled “Remote Employees in New York”. 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:

Insurance Issues
Mandatory Policies
Employment Discrimination
Hiring Pitfalls

and much more!

There have always been some people who worked from home. But the COVID-19 pandemic forced many employers into remote work arrangements on a large scale.

Beyond the practical issues, a new spotlight has emerged on legal compliance regarding remote employees. Especially when employees are working remotely in cities or states where the employer doesn’t have a physical presence, the arrangement may expose a company to new legal parameters.

Why You Should Watch “Remote Employees in New York”

If your organization isn’t physically present in New York, but has employees working there remotely, then you may not be familiar with many of the state-specific employment law requirements that probably apply. Similarly, if you have employees working remotely in New York City, there are additional protections to be aware of within the city boundaries.

Whether you’re based in New York or elsewhere, this webinar addresses many aspects of New York employment law relative to remote employees. If you’re new to having employees in the State or NYC, then we’ll get you up to speed on the major compliance requirements. If you’re already familiar with New York human resources practices, hear more specifically about what to consider with employees working off-site.
