About This IAML AudioPro ConferenceSM:
Now that we're halfway through the first 100 days of President Obama's Administration, let's discuss what we've seen already and what's still to come.
So far we have a number of federal contractor orders, the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and some appointed leaders in DOL and EEOC, among other changes. We're still
awaiting new appointees to the NLRB and in several other areas. We're also looking at the introduction in Congress of the Employee Free Choice Act as well as
other potential new laws related to paid family leave, pay equity, immigration, independent contractors and the uncapping of the damages restrictions under Title VII.
And that's just to name a few.
So what should employers be doing in light of the current laws and those that are to come? Have you already changed the way you do COBRA and have you considered auditing your pay equity system? Learn of what's happened, what's likely to occur, what may be on the horizon, and what you should be doing to protect yourself. Combined with the economy, employers are faced with a multitude of new challenges - join us for this teleconference as we talk about goals, next steps and prevention in the midst of the first 100 days of the Obama administration.
