NAB; HRCI; NJ-LNHA Ethics – 1 Hour | Tuesday, June 4th 1:45 pm – 2:45 pm 

Session Description:

This session will provide a high-level overview of the most significant employment law developments and legal trends impacting long-term, assisted living, home care, and hospice care employers. Presenters will discuss the U.S. Department of Labor’s Independent Contractor Rule and how it would increase the risk of worker misclassification; White Collar Exemption Rule that proposes to change the salary threshold for exempt employees. Common wage and hour mistakes employers make that have led to findings during U.S. DOL audits, and how to fix/avoid them will be discussed. Presenters will also review The NLRB’s Final Joint Employment Rule; Stericycle decision and impact on Employee Handbook policies; and an update on the FTC’s Proposed Non-Compete Rule. Our excellent panel of presenters will lead an engaging conversation that walks through industry-specific proactive steps employers can take to confidently respond to and reduce their risks of lawsuits or financial exposure in the face of a changing legal landscape.

Learning Objectives:

Describe the current status of the NLRBs Joint Employment Rule, including any legal challenges or effective date.
