Event Synopsis:
The Joint Employer standard has been one of the core foundations of labor law. For the past years, employers are having a hard time to perceive whether their affiliations with other companies can be considered as Joint Employment. Thus, adding more challenge to the already complex landscape of joint-employment. Join us for this Knowledge Group The Joint-Employer Standard in Limbo CLE Webinar.
Just recently, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) issued a new set of standards in determining joint employer status under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). The proposed update paved the way for employers to deeply understand their limitations, liabilities and responsibilities under the proposed rule. The new standards could also pose a threat to the contractual relationship of business entities.
In this LIVE webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders will help employers, as well as their employees to understand the important aspects of this significant topic. They will provide an in-depth discussion of the Joint Employer standard. Speakers will also offer best practices in developing an effective approach on handling multiple entities and previews what is in store for employers in the coming.
Key Topics include:
- Joint Employment
- Regulatory Developments and Updates
- Remarkable Case Decisions
- The Standard for Determining Joint-Employer Status
- Minimizing Potential Joint Employer Liability
- What Lies Ahead
