SUMMARY:I‑9s and E‑Verify: Employer Obligations\, Enforcement Risk\, and Best Practices for Immigration Compliance
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a webinar:\nVirtual Only \nImmigration enforcement is a top priority of the Trump administration\, including heightened scrutiny on employer compliance obligations. All U.S. employers are required to verify employment eligibility by properly completing and maintaining Form I‑9\, and federal contractors must also use E‑Verify—a system that has become a best practice for many non‑contractor employers as well. Even employers that take these steps may still face government audits\, investigations\, or requests for I‑9 documentation from federal enforcement authorities. This program will examine employer obligations under the I‑9 and E‑Verify regimes\, highlight common compliance pitfalls\, and outline practical best practices for preparing for and responding to government inquiries. Being prepared for these requests is critical to ensuring compliance\, mitigating risk\, and avoiding unnecessary penalties or business disruption.\nPresenter: Craig Leen \n\nREGISTER NOW >>

SUMMARY:The Case for Objective Performance Management Processes: Pay Equity\, Promotions\, and Terminations
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a webinar:\nVirtual Only \nOutside of workers whose productivity can be easily and objectively measured through quality and quantity of production\, the measurement of performance of employees rests\, for most employers\, on subjective evaluations of competencies\, quality\, and completion rates. Performance measures for administrative\, professional\, and management employees have often shown that it’s less the performance of the employee but the relationship between the rater and ratee that matters. When questioned by employees\, compliance agencies\, or even plaintiff’s attorneys as to why an individual got a different raise or was promoted over another employee\, performance management is the usual go-to defense. This webinar will discuss the case for more objective performance management processes along-side the pitfalls of subjective approaches including bias\, inconsistency\, and employee buy-in/morale/retention.\nSpeakers: Thomas J. Carnahan\, PhD\, Berkshire Associates\, LLC\, Rick Holt\, PhD\, Resolution Economics\, LLC\, and Guy Brenner\, JD\, Proskauer Rose\, LLP\n\n\nREGISTER NOW >>

SUMMARY:The Ballot and the Break Room: Midterm Elections and the Future of Workplace Policy
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a webinar:\nVirtual Only \n\nThe 2026 midterm elections promised to be a defining moment for federal employment policy. With Republicans holding narrow majorities in both chambers of Congress—Democrats needing just three House seats and four Senate seats to flip control—the stakes could not have been higher. Now\, immediately following this pivotal election\, this dynamic panel discussion will bring together leading practitioners and policy experts to analyze the results and their implications for the Trump administration’s employment policy agenda for the remainder of its term.\nOur distinguished panelists will assess the administration’s employment policy track record to date—including the rescission of the Biden-era independent contractor rule\, the return to the 2020 joint employer standard at the NLRB\, and aggressive enforcement efforts targeting workplace DEI initiatives. With the EEOC now operating with a Republican majority and quorum restored\, and new leadership firmly in place at all key Department of Labor agencies\, the discussion will examine how the election results position the administration’s agenda going forward and what the new congressional composition means for the trajectory of federal labor policy. \nAttendees will gain critical insights into how the election results will impact the administration’s enforcement priorities on hot-button issues such as alleged “illegal DEI” in the workplace\, restrictions on non-compete agreements at the state level\, the ongoing debate over federal paid leave\, union organizing activity in light of executive orders curtailing federal employee collective bargaining rights\, and evolving AI-in-employment compliance requirements. The panel will also assess the election’s influence on legislative initiatives\, agency rulemaking\, and the broader trajectory of employment law. \nWhether you represent employers navigating an evolving compliance landscape or advise clients on workforce strategy\, this session will equip you with the practical knowledge and forward-looking perspective needed to anticipate change and counsel stakeholders effectively. Join us for a timely and thought-provoking conversation on the intersection of electoral politics and workplace policy as we decode the implications of this pivotal election. \n\nSpeakers: David Cohen\, Nita Beecher\, Vicki Lipnic\, and Danny Petrella\n\n\nREGISTER NOW >>
