Massachusetts employers with 25 or more employees will soon have obligations under the new Massachusetts Pay Transparency Law. Check out Attorney Amelia J. Holstrom's blog post on the topic.

We continue our webinar series this month with an important wage and hour law update. Please consider joining Attorney John Gannon on June 18 from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.  for an informative webinar on this important topic. John will discuss new challenges and changes to the law as well as share strategies for defending and avoiding costly wage and hour lawsuits. Registration and payment information can be found at the link below.

*Space is limited!* Please consider joining Skoler Abbott Attorney Amelia J. Holstrom on May 9, 2024 from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. for an informative webinar about curbing Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and Paid Family and Medical Leave Act (PFML) abuse. FMLA and PFML provide employees time off for various reasons, including their own serious health condition, the birth of a child, and the serious health condition of certain covered family members. From time to time, an employer will have reason to question whether an employee is using FMLA and/or PFML for a legitimate reason, especially when the employee is approved to take the leave intermittently for chronic, unpredictable conditions. During the webinar, Amelia will cover what employers in these and other situations need to know to (lawfully) curb and address suspected leave abuse. Payment and registration information can be found at the link below.

Employee handbooks can be invaluable tools for employers, but they can also create legal liability when they are missing legally required policies or not up to date. In the last year alone, there have been notable changes at the state and federal level that require employers to update their handbooks to avoid liability for noncompliance. For example, a recent National Labor Relations Board decision calls for greater scrutiny of employer workplace policies in general, which will inevitably render many once-lawful policies unlawful. To learn more about this case and other important changes employers need to make, please consider joining Attorney Meaghan Murphy for an important webinar on employee handbooks on April 23 from 12-1. Registration and payment information can be found below.

Please consider joining me for a webinar on March 20, from 12-1 on workplace Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging programs. During the webinar, I will talk about the recent legal challenges many have faced and how you can keep your programs compliant with all state and federal anti-discrimination laws.
