  • DOL Clarifies and Expands Leave Rights for “Non-Traditional Parents”

From the PLI website:

"Wage and hour claims under federal and state laws are surging.  Counsel responsible for wage and hour matters must understand how to identify and anticipate wage and hour risks so that they can manage those risks through compliance programs, responses to early warning signs, cost-effective defense of wage and hour investigations and litigation, alternative dispute resolution, and innovative structures for settlements.  The faculty is comprised of leaders in the field from the management bar and the plaintiffs’ bar who contribute both to the development of the substantive law and the practical aspects of managing wage and hour risks in and out of the courtroom.

"This program is designed for all practitioners who are involved in wage and hour issues, whether from the perspective of outside counsel or in-house counsel in the private and public sectors, labor union attorneys, representation of individuals or groups of employees, or human resources executives. Litigators, government regulators and advisors, judges, arbitrators and mediators in the wage and hour area will also find this program particularly valuable."
