The Remote and Hybrid Workforce:
Multi-State Employment Law Compliance
If your organization has even one remote or hybrid employee, you need to understand your new compliance obligations.
Remote and hybrid work are here to stay. But too many organizations still haven’t updated their policies for this new world, which puts your organization (and career) at a big risk. Even seasoned HR professionals and supervisors are confused about when they legally MUST say “yes” to employees’ remote-work accommodation requests, and when they can—and should—say “no.” Then there’s the confusion over which state’s laws apply. Is it the state most work is physically done in or the one from which work is assigned—or both?
On April 22, discover your organization’s rights and responsibilities in this new way of working. Employment law attorney Anniken Davenport will walk you through the steps to get your remote and hybrid procedures and policies in airtight legal compliance—from timekeeping and accommodations to classifications and multi-state pay issues.
While remote and hybrid work allow for many flexibilities and cost savings, they come with a mountain of legal complexities. This training will help your organization and HR department comply with total confidence.
Webinar Agenda
- Why you need to limit where remote work takes place, whether it happens regularly or only occasionally. Complicated state hiring and payroll issues for multi-state remote workers make it essential to know where your remote workers (and job candidates) are located.
- Remote work isn’t a right—in most cases. You control where work gets done … or at least you should. But sometimes remote work is a required reasonable accommodation. We’ll explain—in plain English.
- Beware the disloyal teleworker. A new trend has teleworkers cheating on their employers by working for two or more at the same time. Learn how to spot and stop this.
- Hybrid work. You may think requiring regular in-office work at least part of the time fixes remote-work legal problems. It doesn’t. In fact, it often multiplies them.
- Harassment on the rise. Shockingly, more workers are reporting sex-, age- and ethnicity-based harassment than ever—especially when teleworking. You need new harassment rules for telework NOW.
- New telework rules for managers. Discover how to train your managers to successfully supervise off-site staff without resorting to privacy-violating surveillance that can trigger lawsuits.
- Telework expenses. Comply with laws that require you to pay remote and hybrid workers for the surprise expenses they incur on your behalf.
- Timekeeping and pay. Understand state and federal laws on timekeeping and breaks for remote staff. Plus, know when you can pay some teleworkers less than hybrid or office workers.
- Common classification mistakes. Learn how to properly classify remote workers as exempt vs. non-exempt, and employee vs. independent contractor. Jobs change and so does classification.
- Forced hybrid work. Discover how to force fully remote workers back to the office part-time.
By the end of this timely, attorney-led webinar, you will:
- Know which state employment laws apply to your teleworker and hybrid workers.
- Discover which states you should recruit in and how to craft those job descriptions.
- Learn how to control where your employees are working—and where they shouldn’t work.
