Please join us to learn more about and to discuss these ever-changing issues affecting your workplace.

The Trump Effect: Trump’s Impact on OSHA
Mark Kittaka, Barnes & Thornburg
Mark Kittaka will discuss how President-elect Trump may change the course of current and pending OSHA regulations, as well as the administration of the Occupational Health and Safety Administration as a whole. In addition, Mark will discuss the status of various court challenges to OSHA regulations and the OSHA standards passed prior to the end of the Obama Administration.

Is That Really a Reasonable Accommodation Under the ADA?
Jason Clagg, Barnes & Thornburg
Jason Clagg will address the ever-expanding concept of “reasonable accommodation” under the ADA, including modifying attendance policies, unpaid leave, changing supervisors, modifying work schedules, shift changes, working from home, and more.

Immigration Update (aka Is Mexico Really Going to Pay for a Wall?)
Mark Scudder, Barnes & Thornburg
Mark Scudder will address the current status of immigration laws governing employment, recent developments in immigration laws, and the current plans of the new President and the new Congress. In particular, Mark will address what employers can do now to prepare for the potential changes on the horizon.

Labor Relations: What to Expect From the Incoming Administration
Adam Bartrom, Barnes & Thornburg
Adam Bartrom will discuss recent NLRB decisions, the anticipated changes with the NLRB under the Trump administration, and challenges that employers can expect from the NLRB and organized labor in the coming year.

Wage and Hour Compliance in a Trump Era
Kathleen Anderson, Barnes & Thornburg
Kathleen Anderson will review the last year, which was a roller coaster for wage and hour compliance. Lawsuits in this area remain at an all-time high, and in 2016 the U.S. Department of Labor was going strong on new regulations and guidance. With the beginning of the Trump era in 2017, what will change? What will remain the same? And how should state laws and regulations factor into your analysis? One thing is certain: In 2017, minefields remain in the wage and hour world.
