Labor and Employment Law Update for 2025

Labor and Employment Law Update for 2025

Please join us for HTEAC's Annual Legal Update luncheon. Every year brings changes to existing laws and adds completely new ones, all of which can be difficult to navigate. This is an excellent opportunity to stay up to date on the latest employment law and regulatory changes coming our way in 2025, for example, California’s “captive audience” ban, victim-of-violence leave of absence, driver’s license discrimination, freelance workers protections, and more. HTEAC's Annual Legal Update provides our local businesses access to an experienced attorney who will help you gain the knowledge needed to effectively avoid costly mistakes and minimize risk. Join other HR professionals, Managers and Business Owners for this informative luncheon, and bring your questions
