• NJ's Paid Sick Leave Law: What Employers Need to Know Now - 06/20/2018
  

  On May 2, 2018, Governor Murphy signed New Jersey’s first state-wide paid sick leave act into law, pre-empting all local ordinances in favor of uniform paid sick leave requirements. The act becomes effective on October 29, 2018.

  Although most employers provide some measure of paid time-off benefits, they must nevertheless ensure that existing policies meet the minimum requirements of the new paid sick leave act. For those employers who do not provide any paid time off benefits for sickness, they will now be required to do so for those absences that fall within the law.

  Employment law attorneys, John Schmidt and Kathleen Connelly will provide guidance as to how to prepare now to ensure your policies and practices are compliant with the Act.

  Topics:

  • Coverage
  • Accrual of Paid Sick Time
  • Carry Over of Accrued Paid Sick Time
  • Use of Paid Sick Leave
  • Notice Requirements
  • Payout of Accrued Sick Time
  • Record Keeping, Posting Requirements, and Violations
  • What to Do Now

  To register please RSVP by June 13th to events@lindabury.com

• How to Conduct Internal Investigations Into Allegations of Harassment & Bullying - 05/10/2018
  

  Internal investigations by employers into allegations of unlawful harassment and other workplace misconduct are becoming more common. The practice of conducting workplace investigations is often the best way to avoid litigation, as employees who feel their employers have heard their complaints and taken appropriate action are typically less likely to seek redress in court. Employment attorneys, Kathleen Connelly and Lisa Gingeleskie provide guidance as to how effective workplace investigations can play a crucial role in developing a comprehensive defense against potential claims of liability.

  Please RSVP by May 3, 2018 to events@lindabury.com

• #MeToo - Don't Make it #YouToo! - 01/17/2018
  

  It seems that the dawn of each new day brings with it new allegations of improper sexual misconduct. Accusations have not been isolated to a specific industry, as celebrities, media personalities, government officials and business leaders have all been thrust into the public discussion of what is and what is not acceptable workplace behavior.

  Employers need to appreciate that heightened awareness of workplace harassment has created an environment ripe for claims of sexual harassment against the company, its executives and managers. Allegations, even if unfounded or proven false, can be devastating to a business and cause lasting irreparable harm. It doesn’t take a well-known or high profile figure to destroy your company’s engaged workforce, public image and client relationships.

  Join Lindabury’s Labor & Employment Group on January 17th,  for a discussion that will arm you with the tools you need to prevent harassing behavior in your organization.
