After a year full of changes for employers paired with a new governor in Maine, Verrill Dana will reflect on recent legal developments in labor and employment law and what the new year might bring during its 2019 Annual Employment Law Update. The full-day conference will take place on Thursday, January 31 at The Westin Harborview Hotel in Portland.
The all-day event will begin with a panel discussion of a 2018 labor and employment year in review and expectations for 2019. Following, there will be a variety of sessions with topics on workforce development, implicit bias, USERRA and veteran recruiting, discrimination and harassment investigations, HR 101, sexual harassment, “I-9s”, e-discovery workers’ compensation, arbitration agreements in employee contracts, and wage & hour. Breakout sessions will include HR 101, employee benefits, OSHA, and a sexual harassment CLE for attorneys.
Tickets are $175, including breakfast, lunch, parking and a networking reception immediately following the event at the Top of the East. The program is approved for 7 SHRM credits, 7 HRCI credits, as well as 1 ethics CLE credits and 6 general CLE credits.
