Join us for breakfast and an interactive panel discussion to discuss the rapidly developing legislation that is impacting all sectors and areas of workforce management within the UAE.

Our experienced panel, including Luke Tapp, Head of Employment at Pinsent Masons and representatives from the HR and inhouse community will ensure all attendees receive technical and practical insights on the recent developments in the employment relationship in the UAE.

The panel will focus on the following, but we will encourage discussion on all issues facing employers in the UAE in 2023:- The new UAE Labour Law one year in – what have we learnt and what are the major impacts in practice;

- Fixed term employment contracts – the term, the key characteristics, the impact of the local contract and the extension to the deadline;

- Emiratisation – penalties, quotas, skilled workers and initiatives; and

- Unemployment insurance – who qualifies, who registers, who is at risk.

 

Please note that this session will not be live-streamed.

On January 5, 2023, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to ban the use of non-compete covenants throughout the country.  The proposed rule, which would supersede all contrary state laws, is remarkable in its scope, including its sweeping definition of "non-compete clauses" that fall within the ban and its potential retroactive impact.
 
Please join ACC Northeast and Jackson Lewis P.C. attorneys to discuss the proposed rule, the process ahead, and what this all might mean for employers.
 
Topics:

  • Summary of the proposed rule and how we arrived at this point;
  • Potential impact of the proposed rule;
  • Next steps in the process;
  • Key takeaways for employers.

Please plan to register and invite your HR colleagues.

Helen McFarland and Kira Johal 

Effective January 1, 2023, employers who are hiring in the state of Washington will need to comply with the strictest job posting requirements in the United States. Washington’s newly revised Equal Pay And Opportunity Act now requires employers with 15 or more employees to disclose a pay scale and general description of benefits in each job posting or face claims of at least $5000 per violation. Washington’s agency overseeing the Act recently finalized its Policy to answer many outstanding questions regarding compliance with the new law.

Workplace investigations are a frequent and challenging issue for any employer and, consequently, for in-house counsel to advise and manage. A flawed workplace investigation can result in organizational issues and in significant liability against an employer. It is therefore imperative for in-house counsel to acquire the skills and knowledge needed to conduct a thorough, fair and effective workplace investigation. 

This session focuses on the essential investigation skills needed by in-house counsel who are charged with advising on, or conducting, workplace investigations. The session will include instructional components, interactive questions and discussion regarding strategies to deal with issues that can arise when conducting investigations. 

By the end of this session, attendees will understand how to:

·  recognize when an investigation is required and how to advise your internal client accordingly

·  organize and conduct an efficient and effective investigation

·  identify and address issues that arise when conducting investigations 

·  make certain that your investigation is conducted fairly

·  avoid claims and allegations that the investigation is flawed or biased 

·  best ensure that your investigation will hold up under the scrutiny of a decision-maker

·  write the report and conclude the investigation

 

This program contains 30 minutes of Professionalism and 30 minutes of Substantive content.
