HR outlook: upcoming changes and trends in local, state, and federal laws

TRENDS IN 20 WEBINAR | FREE

In this free on-demand webinar, BLR Senior Legal Content Specialist Colette Labate, JD, MDA, PHR, will discuss what’s ahead in 2022 based on trends and signals from state and government agencies.

During this webinar, Colette will cover:

  • Trends for State & Local Laws: Limitations on pre-employment inquiries, like ban the box laws and prohibitions on asking about pay history, continue to be a big issue for employers. But equal pay laws have begun to add a new twist—requiring employers to disclose salary ranges for open positions to applicants and employees. More and more states and localities are also requiring protected employee leave as well as maternity accommodations.
  • Federal Enforcement: A clear picture has emerged of the Biden administration’s priorities. COVID-19 is at the top of the list, with vaccine and testing mandates for employer as well as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission weighing in on whether long-COVID is a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
  • Artificial Intelligence: Both HR professionals and federal enforcement agencies have indicated they’ll be looking into AI in 2022. Although it can make the decisions easier by reducing the amount of work required to find a great employee, some commentators are increasingly concerned about the potential for discrimination or disparate outcomes as a result.
