Employment regulations have changed quickly, and many employers missed deadlines while waiting to see how court challenges would play out. This 90-minute employment regulations update reviews the rules that caused the most confusion and what employers should watch for next.
You'll look at the DOL salary threshold for exempt classification, the DOL independent contractor rule and the FTC's approach to non-compete agreements, along with the legal challenges each has faced. Missed deadlines can bring fines, penalties and even criminal sanctions.
The session also explains the Supreme Court's change to the Chevron doctrine, which moves interpretation of agency regulations from the agencies to the courts, and why regulations still apply while litigation continues.
