In an election season that has been less than conventional, voters will head to the polls in November to elect a new president and decide which party or parties will control the 115th Congress. Key workplace issues are front and center on the campaign trail including compensation equity, paid maternity/paternity leave, immigration reform, the Affordable Care Act and tax reform.  Efforts to consider new workplace flexibility options and address labor-management practices are all at the forefront of Congress as it tries to conclude its business for the year. The Obama administration is also trying to put the finishing touches on its workplace regulatory legacy with changes to the overtime regulations, changes to labor-management relation practices and new requirements for federal contractors. How will these issues affect your workplace? This session will provide an overview of:

 

•         Current congressional activity.

•         A preview of potential issues for a new Congress and administration and how these issues could impact your organization.

•         An up-to-date discussion on current federal regulatory activity.
