SUMMARY:FMLA Compliance Workshop
DESCRIPTION:A practical compliance workshop for employers and HR professionals in Connecticut \nPlease join us for this highly interactive half-day workshop where we will “roll up our sleeves” and discuss numerous real-world scenarios in depth. Our goal is to not only provide attendees with an understanding of their basic obligations\, but also address some common\, complicated leave scenarios that often arise.  \nThe Connecticut Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) was recently expanded to cover nearly every employer in Connecticut and to provide paid leave benefits to an increasing number of covered employees. \nMany employers are struggling to understand and comply with the new laws and how the Connecticut FMLA interacts with other federal and state leave laws. \nWe are limiting attendance for this Workshop in order to have small break-out groups that will work collaboratively on addressing these issues.  \nLunch will be provided. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:How to Increase Workforce Diversity While Avoiding Legal Pitfalls
DESCRIPTION:Nick Zaino and Amanda Nugent will present “How to Increase Workforce Diversity While Avoiding Legal Pitfalls” for the Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce. \nAbout the Program: \nEvery employer wants (or should want) to increase diversity within its workforce for a multitude of important business and social reasons. However\, federal law restricts what an employer can ask about an applicant’s race\, gender\, LGBTQ+ status\, disability\, and other key aspects of diversity\, and prohibits making employment decisions based on those characteristics. Experts from Carmody Torrance Sandak & Hennessey LLP will share their knowledge and insight on how to effectively increase workplace diversity while helping attendees understand the legal restrictions they must contend with in so doing. \nTopics will Include:  \n\nWhat the law says about intentionally hiring based on sex\, race\, religion\, or other protected characteristics when the goal of doing so is to increase workforce diversity.\nWhat is a voluntary affirmative action plan and what are the legal considerations you must be aware of when considering implementing one for your business.\nWhy setting diversity “goals” rather than hiring “quotas” may be a smart legal choice for your business.\nWhat simple (and in many cases\, free) changes businesses can make to increase workplace diversity without running afoul of the law.\n\nClick here to register

SUMMARY:CT Paid FMLA Complimentary Webinar
DESCRIPTION:On June 25\, 2019\, Governor Lamont signed into law one of the nation’s most generous paid FMLA laws that will impact nearly every Connecticut employer and employee.

Andrea and attorneys in our Labor and Employment group also will be available to answer your questions. \nWe invite you to attend this important complimentary webinar. \n\n\n\nFriday\, November 20\, 2020\n10:00 – 11:30 a.m.\n\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER

SUMMARY:New FMLA Law and Other Significant Employment Updates
DESCRIPTION:On September 26th\, attorneys Giovanna Weller and Nick Zaino will be presenting to the Fairfield County Bar Association. They will discuss CT legislative developments\, including paid FMLA and the changes to CT’s harassment laws. \nAbout the Program  \nThis legislative session that recently ended on June 5th produced several important new laws affecting Connecticut employers\, including law firms of all sizes. First and foremost\, Connecticut has a new paid FMLA law that will impact nearly every employer and employee. It is probably the most significant workplace law that Connecticut has passed in decades…and many employers are not aware of its significant scope. The new law will create an insurance program that will pay individuals who are eligible for FMLA leave. The money to fund the program will be collected from an employee payroll tax\, and the insurance program will be administered by a new quasi-public agency of the state of Connecticut. The new law also expands who is a covered employee\, increases the amount of job-protected time off\, and expands the definition of family members. \nIn addition to paid FMLA\, the Connecticut legislature also passed sweeping changes to Connecticut’s sexual harassment training requirements\, expanded the time period for filing discrimination complaints\, expanded the damages available for discrimination complaints\, and significantly increased the state’s minimum wage. \nFor more information and to register\, please click here.
