Traps for the Unwary in 2024 - Accommodating Pregnant Workers, Managing Affinity Groups, and Drafting Noncompetes
Kevin Johnson, Erin Jackson, and Chris Bentley of Johnson Jackson will outline several of the employment-law challenges that corporate counsel can expect to face in 2024. They will focus on three main issues:
The new accommodation duties created by the Pregnant Workers’ Fairness Act along with what’s hiding in the EEOC’s proposed regulations;
Whether the Supreme Court’s new affirmative-action opinion spells doom for affinity groups; and
What the likely impact of the NLRB’s attempt to restrict noncompetes will be, and how that affects the drafting of contracts while this battle is ongoing.
The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) will go into effect January 1, 2024. The CTA willrequire “reporting companies” to submit a report to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) containing personal information about the reporting company’s “beneficial owners.”Unless your business is exempt, CTA will affect most businesses. Many businesses and their advisors are behind the curve on preparation and compliance. This program will be a fast paced, engaging overview of the CTA, providing answers to questions you didn’t know to ask.
Compliance with the Act will be crucial for all companies that fall within the scope of the CTA, and noncompliance or inaccurate compliance could lead to punitive civil and criminal penalties.
Join us to learn more about what this could mean for you and your clients' businesses.
Presented by Phil Feigen, DC Office Managing Partner and William Quick,Corporate Transparency Act Chair at Polsinelli, Henrique Canarim,Vice President, Senior Assistant General Counsel at Leidos,together with an additional in-house panelist.
This is for informational purposes only, no CLE will be offered.
If you are a GC or CLO, we'd love to have you to join us for our next GC/CLO Lunch Club gathering of 2023.
This luncheon discussion will discuss the future of restrictive covenants (RCs) for employees (for example, non-competes, non-solicits, etc.). The NLRB has issued strong negative opinions, the FTC has proposed a rule banning RCs, several states are limiting RCs, and California has a new law declaring RCs “illegal” and further requiring employers to deliver notice to employees revoking RCs.
There is no charge for GC/CLO chapter members to attend this luncheon, but pre-registration is required.
