2014 was an unprecedented year of employment legislation activity in the District of Columbia. The D.C. Council enacted four pieces of legislation that impose stringent requirements and prohibitions on employers:

Protecting Pregnant Workers Fairness Act
Wage Theft Prevention Amendment Act
Fair Criminal Record Screening Amendment Act
Earned Sick and Safe Leave Amendment Act

What does all this mean for D.C. employers? It means, among other things:

Changes to your recruiting and hiring processes
Changes to your payroll systems
Changes to your record keeping systems
Changes to your sick leave policy
An affirmative duty to offer pregnant employees certain accommodations
Threat of civil litigation and heavy fines by the District government

Don’t get caught out in the cold. Join us for an in-depth discussion of how to comply with these new laws before it is too late.
