The Hospitality Industry 2009: Employment Law and Human Resources Challenges
As we enter the second half of 2009, employers in the Hospitality Industry face many known and unknown challenges in managing their workforces: a new president, democratic control of congress, a newly-emboldened organized labor movement, a stressed economy and a myriad of new and proposed labor and employment laws. Please join the Greater Boston Hotels Human Resources Association and Seyfarth Shaw LLP for a half-day program exploring these developments and their potential impact on the way you do your business. Our program consists of multiple workshops covering the following timely topics:
- downsizing;
- using dispute resolution;
- handling discrimination charges at the MCAD;
- avoiding retaliation claims;
- conducting effective internal investigations;
- Employee Free Choice Act and The Current Labor Scene;
- current wage and hour issues;
- strategies for retaining your best employees;
- hiring issues; and
- immigration developments.
