By Abby Warren & Guest Contributor on October 12, 2023

This webinar will be co-presented by Labor + Employment Group lawyer Britt-Marie K. Cole-Johnson.

This year, lawmakers in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York passed new laws regarding areas such as leave, discrimination, workers’ compensation, and in other important areas impacting employers. Federal agencies were also busy issuing guidance on topics from non-disparagement and confidentiality provisions in separation agreements to clarifications impacting the Family and Medical Leave Act. Additionally, as employers prepare to close out 2023, a number of noteworthy trends are emerging across the United States involving topics such as artificial intelligence and its impact on employment screening processes, state-mandated vacation policies, and others.

During this webinar being hosted on October 19 at noon, myself and Britt-Marie K. Cole-Johnson will provide an overview of key Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, and federal laws and trends as well as practical tips on compliance with these new developments. We welcome questions from attendees and encourage participation in this webinar. 

For more information, please contact events@rc.com. Registration for the webinar can be found here.

As an attorney in Robinson+Cole’s Labor, Employment, Benefits + Immigration Group, I represent manufacturers in all areas of labor and employment law.  This includes discharge and discrimination issues, workplace investigations, affirmative action compliance, employee discipline, wage and hour issues, disability and reasonable accommodation, family and medical leave, unemployment, training, and defense in federal and state court and before administrative agencies. My full firm bio can be accessed here.

I represent manufacturers in the aerospace, consumer goods, machinery and other industries, which involves identifying practical, cost-effective and realistic solutions that prioritize and solidly execute the client’s objectives.  Manufacturers face unique challenges stemming from compliance with ever-changing industry regulations, including those impacting federal contractors.  Early in my career, I toured a client’s facility facing union-related struggles and realized that only through observing the workplace on the ground level can an attorney successfully understand and represent businesses.  As an employment attorney, I work alongside clients as a true partner to further their key personnel and human resources goals, including efficient and safe operations, recruitment and retention of talent, diversity and inclusion, among other issues. Whether advising on a leadership transition or on compliance with wage payment laws, the aim is always the same – to solve problems so clients can focus their attention on doing what they do best – manufacturing.
