Take a deep dive on employment laws and regulations in this full-day workshop! Attendees will gain an understanding of the Trump Administration's impact on the home care industry, including sweeping changes to wage-and-hour legislation and regulations.

Additional topics related to the Trump Administration to be discussed include:
  • Recent changes to the White Collar Exemption;
  • Federal minimum wage requirements;
  • Live-in and companionship exemptions;
  • Investigations into nurse registries;
  • Treatment of Uber-style home care delivery models;
  • ACA employer insurance mandate;
  • Litigation regarding enforcement of arbitration agreements, including the U.S. Supreme Court’s seminal and recent decision upholding class and collective action waivers in arbitration agreements; and,
  • The current status of the government’s agenda regarding joint employer and independent contractor status.

Later in the workshop, attendees will learn about effective caregiver recruiting and retention strategies. Attendees will also learn how to accurately and efficiently track and stay compliant with respect to employees’ time to avoid costly class-action lawsuits and investigations. Additionally, a case study of a home care agency to create a platform for wage-and-hour compliance will be examined, as well as the nuances of exempt employees and how to classify them to protect the exemption.

At the end of this comprehensive employment law workshop, attendees will have the opportunity to “stump the attorney” with a panel Q&A session on wage-and-hour laws and rules.
