Why should you attend?

Do you offer paid sick leave to your employees? Currently, eight states, plus the District of Columbia, and over twenty localities have paid/earned sick/safe leave laws on their books - and that number is growing - so soon you may not have a choice.

Paid-leave regulations are getting complicated. As support grows for (and some business groups push against) a national law mandating paid family leave and paid sick days, some states, cities and individual organizations are out in front—adopting measures of their own. This proliferation and mishmash of regulations can make staying in compliance challenging.

Keep up to date on this unfolding topic by registering now for our newest Webinar Managing the Complexities of Paid Sick and Family Leave Laws. Understand the legal developments and your obligations. Know how to adjust your policies, how to respond to leave requests … how to comply.
