HR outlook: broadening rights and safeguards for employees in 2024

Available: On-demand Webinar

Join BLR Managing Editor Celeste Duke, SPHR, for a 20-minute on-demand webinar where she’ll cover upcoming employment law trends employers should keep top-of-mind, most notably, the expansion of rights and protections for employees in the United States.

In this session, topic areas covered will include:

• Leave expansions: Expect new laws and tweaks to existing ones regarding paid leave, bereavement, miscarriage, and more. States like California and Illinois are leading the charge.
• Pregnancy protections: Stay compliant with PWFA and PUMP Act. More state-level protections are likely.
• Non-compete restrictions: Bans on non-compete agreements gaining traction both federally and in states like Colorado.
• EEOC focus: Expect action on harassment, discrimination, and pay data collection.
• DOL overtime rule: The DOL will finalize a new rule in April 2024, likely increasing the salary threshold for exempt employees.
• Independent contractor rule: Stricter criteria will take effect in March 2024, making it more difficult to classify workers as contractors.
