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.

Reductions in force can be fraught with legal risk. Fiona and Parker will discuss some important issues employers should be thinking about when conducting a RIF, including the following:

  • The selection process – nondiscriminatory factors and adverse impact analyses
  • Severance agreements – what to include and exclude
  • A brief mention of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act and Maryland’s mini-WARN
  • Best practices on communicating the decision
  • Voluntary retirement incentive programs – an alternative?
