today, including immigration, wage and hour issues, the challenges of an aging workforce,
mental disabilities in the workplace, leave issues (including the Family and Medical Leave Act

lawsuit. After this session participants should be able to:

- Explain to partners and staff the importance of staying up-to-date on employment laws
