Remote and hybrid work offer flexibility and cost savings, but they also create complex legal obligations for employers.

Without clear, up-to-date policies, even well-intentioned decisions can expose organizations to significant compliance risk. This training helps HR teams navigate those challenges with confidence.

When must employers approve remote work as a reasonable accommodation—and when can they lawfully say no? Which state’s laws apply when employees live and work in different locations? These questions arise daily, and the wrong answer can trigger enforcement actions, employee complaints or litigation.

This session also covers new Department of Justice guidance on accommodating religious needs through remote work, along with the evolving rules on multi-state compliance. You will learn how to determine which laws apply, whether based on where work is performed, assigned or both.

Join employment law attorney Anniken Davenport on April 2 as she explains your organization’s rights and responsibilities for managing remote and hybrid employees. She will provide practical guidance for creating legally sound policies covering timekeeping, accommodations, worker classification and multi-state pay requirements.

WEBINAR AGENDA:

• Why you need to limit where remote work takes place, whether it happens regularly or occasionally.
• Learn why in most cases remote work isn’t a right, but sometimes is a required reasonable accommodation, including new rules for religious accommodations and for pregnant employees under the PWFA.
• Discover how to ascertain if one of your teleworkers is also working for another employer.
• Hybrid work doesn’t fix your remote-work legal problems—in fact, it could multiply them. Learn how to minimize the risk.
• Why you need harassment rules for telework NOW.
• Comply with laws that require you to pay remote and hybrid workers for the surprise expenses they incur on your behalf.
• Understand state and federal laws on timekeeping and breaks for remote staff.
