SUMMARY:Expanded Connecticut Paid Sick Leave Requirements
DESCRIPTION:Carmody Labor & Employment partners Vincent Farisello and Nick Zaino will be speaking on the Connecticut Paid Sick Leave law to the Waterbury Regional Chamber’s Human Resources Council. \nAs many employers know\, the Connecticut Paid Sick Leave law was significantly expanded effective January 1\,2025 to cover more employers and employees\, provide a faster paid sick leave accrual rate\, and allow employees to take paid sick leave for more reasons (among other changes). The law currently applies to employers with 25 or more employees and effective January 1\, 2026\, the law will cover employers with 11 or more employees. This seminar will serve as a helpful guide for employers who must become compliant as of January 1\, 2026\, and a refresher for employers who are already covered. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:HR Hotline Live: Employee Terminations
DESCRIPTION:Terminating workers can be one of the hardest parts of managing a business and its people. You hope to never have to do it\, but it’s often impossible to avoid. \nCarmody Labor & Employment partners Vincent Farisello and Nick Zaino will be speaking on the nuances of employee terminations with “HR Hotline Live” through the CBIA\, hosted by HR Counsel Diane Mokriski. \nMany employers are reluctant to fire poor performing employees because they fear an inevitable lawsuit. Others make spontaneous\, emotional firing decisions\, believing that Connecticut’s status as an “at-will state” will protect them from litigation. The truth lies somewhere in between. \nIn this webinar\, HR professionals will hear how to make smart\, well-informed decisions about the legal\, strategic\, and employee-relations considerations involved in every termination decision. \nAttendees will learn: \n\nWhat types of terminations are always illegal\nStrategies for protecting a company against a claim of wrongful termination\nBest practices for conducting the termination meeting or sending that final letter\nWhat it really means to be an “at-will” employee\n\nRegister here.
