AHRMA Legislative Action Day

September 24, 2010 at the beautiful AT&T Conference Center

 Employers and Human Resource Professionals are experiencing the most active HR policy agenda in 30 years.  From Washington D.C., to Federal and State Agencies and the Courtroom we are we are seeing increase regulations relating to the employer-employee relationship. Insiders believe this is just the beginning. During these unpredictable times it is paramount that HR professionals stay up to date on the latest laws, regulations, cases, and what may be on the horizon that could affect how you do your job. We have top attorneys from around the State of Texas, dedicated to helping HR professionals through the maze of ever changing employment laws.  Our presenters includes a Judge, an Attorney that is on the “inside” of the Texas Workforce Commission, Attorneys at Premier Law Firms throughout the state, In-House Counsel of a Fortune 500 Company, and an Attorney from the “other side” who represents employees. The exciting topics include:

•  State of the Unions’ Message-We’re coming soon to an employer near you.
•  12 weeks, 26 weeks, consecutive, intermittent – A Numbers Game-compiling with the Family Medical Leave Act. 
•  Health Reform- The Future of Health Plans
•  Sticks & Stones May Break My Bones, But is Name Calling Always a Hostile Work Environment? What constitutes a Hostile Work Environment?
•  OMG Social Media in the Workplace is nothing to LOL about.  Social Media in the Workplace.
•  The Supremes- Not a Rock Group that changed your lives- Judges that change your workplace. Update on Significant United States and Texas Supreme Court Cases.
•  Legal Implications of a Reduction in Workforce- Fewer people the same issues
