9:10-9:55 a.m. Parental and Medical Leaves
An overview of parental and medical leave issues and an update on recent developments. What are a company’s obligations when an employee gets sick or becomes a parent? How long must their job remain open? What happens when employees on leave miss career-advancing opportunities? What can employees and employers do to protect themselves?

10:05-10:50 a.m. Whistleblowing and Retaliation Claims
What happens when an employee complains about discrimination or other unlawful conduct, or reports the company for wrongdoing? How should the company react? Can the employee protect herself? Can a discrimination victim complain safely? Two experienced lawyers will address these questions from the points of view of the employee and the employer and analyze recent caselaw.
Andrez Carberry & Pearl Zuchlewski

10:50-11:35 a.m. Overtime and Minimum Wage Requirements in New York
No entity with employees can afford to ignore the sometimes complex and constantly evolving laws governing overtime and minimum wages. Who is entitled to overtime payments? What are the common violations of the wage laws, and how does a well-run company best abide by these laws? How does New York law differ from federal law? What has the Department of Labor done lately? Have recent court rulings changed the legal landscape?
