Annual Employment Law Wrap-Up: What Happened in 2016 and What it Means for 2017 - Boston
Boston, MA 02110
2016 was another busy year for employment lawyers and human resources professionals! Of course, the new overtime regulations have dominated the headlines this year, and with good reason. Before the presentation, the significant change to the salary threshold for exempt employees was scheduled to go into effect, and many employers were scrambling to determine how best to implement the new regulations. And that’s not all. We saw important developments at the federal and state levels in all areas of employment law. In November, Suzanne King and Christine Worthen (formerly of Pierce Atwood) hosted a lively discussion of the most significant developments in 2016 and the impact of these developments on employers in 2017.
