Event Synopsis:

The labor and employment law landscape remains in the state of affairs in recent years. Staying on top of an ever-changing legal environment in 2016 is crucial for both employers and employees and human resource professionals at all levels. This year, labor and employment law shapes up to be a dynamic one, especially from changes to minimum wage and overtime exemptions to large-scale Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) investigations. 2016 looks poised to bring a new set of challenges to employers with the possible enactment of various changes to the labor and employment law regime. Employers also need to focus on the new discrimination laws and carefully review new potential liabilities and risks.
